This is an information service. By browsing on the website and/or using our search tools, you are asking RateCity to provide you with information about Margin Loans from multiple financial institutions. We will try to show you a range of products in response to your request for information. We are not a credit provider, and in giving you product information we are not making any suggestion or recommendation to you about a particular credit product. If you decide to apply for a Margin Loan, you will deal directly with a financial institution, and not with RateCity.

Margin Loan Interest

Margin loan interest rates calculate how much you will need to repay on your loan throughout its term. Lower margin loan interest rates will require cheaper repayments, which will help you gain higher profits from your share market investment.

A responsible budget will take into account a possible margin loan interest rate rise of at least a 2 percent. This will shield you from unexpected jumps in interest rates, and protect you from the possibility of default in the future.

Because some investments are either cashed in or transferred after a short period, many borrowers choose to only repay interest on their margin loan. This greatly reduces the amount of your repayments, but means that you will never gain equity through repaying your loan.

Another important aspect of margin loans is the loan to value ratio (LVR), which calculates the amount of your initial deposit.

Compare margin loan interest rates on our comparison page to find some of the lowest rates and some of the best features for your share investment.
