Let's walk through how a revolving credit works in the context of your total home loan.

Important: This simulator is for educational purposes to illustrate typical product mechanics and does not constitute financial advice. Calculations assume interest is charged daily over a 365-day year. Actual mechanics and limits will vary depending on your specific situation and chosen lender.
Revolving Strategy Simulator

A revolving credit is most powerful when used alongside a fixed mortgage. Adjust your total loan and see how holding cash in your revolving facility impacts your overall interest costs.

Revolving Limit: $50,000 Fixed Loan: $450,000
The Big Picture: Assuming you keep $0 against your revolving credit limit, your total interest-bearing debt drops. You are now only paying interest on $500,000 of your total $500,000 loan.

The Mechanics & Long-Term Effect

A standard fixed-limit revolving credit operates similarly to a large overdraft once the account is fully loaded with funds. The bank typically only requires you to pay the monthly interest, meaning there is no forced principal repayment. If your balance remains at the maximum limit, the principal debt will not decrease.

This structure allows you to deposit and withdraw funds at any time, but it requires financial discipline to be effective. Because interest is calculated daily, putting your savings towards your revolving account reduces your daily interest charges, until you fully 'fill' the account with funds. Over time, this helps to pay down the debt, whilst still giving you access to redraw on the funds at any time, with interest being charged on the funds you redraw.

In some scenarios, like David's below, you can think of revolving as a large overdraft or credit card limit, the only difference being that it's loaned against your house.
