Inside the Stack
-
Usable Equity
Calculate how much equity you can actually access from your home, after the bank's lending limits rather than just the paper value. The starting point for a top-up, reno or next purchase.
-
Offset or Revolving Credit
Discover how to make your money work harder to pay your mortgage off. Compare offset and revolving structures and see the real dollar difference on your balances.
-
Pay Down or Invest
Spare cash each month: extra mortgage repayments or invest it? The most requested calculator we have puts both paths side by side over your timeframe.
-
First Home & Mortgage Cheatsheet
Complete spreadsheet package for a comprehensive welcome to property ownership and investing.
Every sheet in the Stack is a downloadable Excel calculator — the exact one our advisers use in client meetings. Request the Stack in the form above and all eight arrive together in one email. Here's what each one actually does and who it's for.
For homeowners
The sheets below do the maths; for the bigger picture, start with our home owner guide.
Usable Equity
Your paper equity and the equity a bank will let you borrow against are two different numbers. This sheet works out how much you can genuinely access for a top-up, renovation or your next purchase.
Offset or Revolving Credit
Both structures put your savings to work against the mortgage, but they suit different money habits. Compare offset against revolving credit on your actual balances and see the interest saved and the time cut from your loan with each.
Mortgage Free Faster
Small, regular extra repayments quietly remove years from a mortgage. Model extra payments, lump sums and shorter terms on your actual loan and watch the mortgage-free date move.
Refix Planner
Your fixed term is ending and the bank has emailed a rate. Before you accept it, run the options: refix terms, splitting the loan, and what a restructure would save — so the renewal is a decision, not a default.
Debt Consolidation
Rolling a car loan or credit cards into the mortgage usually drops your weekly outgoings, but it can stretch short debts over decades. This sheet shows both sides: the repayment relief now and the total interest over the full term.
For property investors
Deep in the numbers? The property investor guide covers the strategy these sheets support.
Pay Down or Invest
Spare cash each month: extra mortgage repayments or invest it? This sheet puts the guaranteed return of paying down debt next to investing over your timeframe. It's the most requested calculator we have.
Investor Cashflow
What does a rental actually cost to hold each week once rates, insurance, management and maintenance join the mortgage? This sheet gives you the true weekly position, not the brochure yield.
For first home buyers
Buying your first place? The first home buyers guide walks the whole journey; this sheet handles the sums.
First Home & Mortgage Cheatsheet
The full first-home picture in one workbook: deposit targets, KiwiSaver withdrawal, what banks test you at, and the costs nobody mentions until settlement. Built for your first serious planning session.
