A Guide to Budgeting for Loan Repayments

by Claire James
04/05/2020

You may have opted to get money to buy your dream home, or maybe you’ve just had your home loan approved. Working out the total cost of the loan you are taking out, not just the amount you are borrowing or how much you can afford to pay each month, but also including interest payments, is crucial.

Here’s a handy guide here to steer you in the right direction.

Make a list of your debts

You need to be able to access all your debts and the amounts you owe in one place before you can come up with a solution. An ideal way to do that is by using a debt reduction spreadsheet. This list will include the amount of the loan, the interest rate and the overall amount that you owe.

This statement will also cover all of your debt, including your mortgage, from credit cards to personal loans to student loans. If you owe the family and friends money, you should have it on your list as well.

Prioritise your debt

After listing your debt, the next step is to prioritise your debts, so that you can determine which to pay first.

Most people advocate starting from the smallest number to the highest because this will carry the momentum to a head. Others would consider ranking debts from the highest to the lowest interest rate because that would save you the most time.

Track your expenses

Luckily, most banking apps nowadays allow you track every penny you’ve spent, and with some, you can even receive alerts when your spend or receive money as well as group similar transactions in one place for easy reviewing.
