Break costs explained
了解 break cost
Breaking a fixed-rate loan before the end of its term may create a break cost. The amount usually reflects the lender's cost of replacing the fixed-rate funding, so it can change as market rates move.
在固定利率期限结束前提前还款或转贷，可能产生 break cost。金额通常与贷款机构重新安排固定资金的成本有关，因此会随着市场利率变化。
Each lender uses its own calculation. If you fixed at 6.5% and comparable rates are now 5.5%, the break cost may be material. If rates have risen, it may be small or zero. Ask for a written quote before making a decision.
每家贷款机构的计算方式不同。如果您以 6.5% 固定利率，而现在的可比利率为 5.5%，费用可能比较高；如果利率已经上升，费用也可能很低甚至为零。做决定前，先索取书面报价。
Compare the break cost and any new-loan fees with the interest you expect to save. For example, a $400,000 loan moving from 6.8% to 5.9% could save about $180 a month. Over two years that is about $4,320 before costs. With a $1,500 break cost and $500 of new fees, the estimated net saving would be about $2,320.
把 break cost 和新贷款费用，与预计节省的利息放在一起比较。例如，40 万纽币贷款从 6.8% 转到 5.9%，每月可能少付约 180 纽币，两年约节省 4,320 纽币。若 break cost 为 1,500 纽币，新费用为 500 纽币，估算净节省约为 2,320 纽币。
A break-cost quote is usually valid for a limited period, which varies by lender. You can ask for a quote without committing to refinance, and you can ask your current lender whether it will improve its offer. Floating-rate loans often allow repayment without a break cost, but check the loan terms.
break cost 报价通常只在一段时间内有效，具体期限由贷款机构决定。您可以先索取报价，不代表必须转贷，也可以先问现有贷款机构能否改善条件。浮动利率贷款通常可以无 break cost 提前还款，但仍要查看合同。
The useful figure is the break-even point for your balance, remaining term and actual quote. A mortgage adviser can help calculate it before you apply.
真正有用的是根据贷款余额、剩余期限和实际报价算出回本点。贷款顾问可以在您申请前协助完成这一步。
Cashback and clawback
Cashback 与 clawback
Some lenders offer a cash contribution when you refinance to them. Offers are often quoted as a percentage of the loan amount, but the amount, payment timing and conditions differ between lenders.
部分贷款机构会在您转贷时提供 cashback，也就是现金奖励。优惠通常按贷款金额的一定比例计算，但金额、发放时间和附带条件因机构而异。
The offer normally comes with a clawback period. If you repay or refinance within that period, which is often two to four years, you may need to repay some or all of the cashback. Some lenders reduce the amount over time.
这类优惠通常带有 clawback 期限。如果您在期限内还清贷款或再次转贷，期限通常为两到四年，可能需要返还部分或全部 cashback。有些机构会随着持有时间增加而降低返还金额。
For example, a $3,000 cashback with a three-year clawback could be fully repayable after 18 months. A sliding schedule might instead require 100% in year one, 66% in year two and 33% in year three. The exact clause matters more than the headline offer.
例如，3,000 纽元 cashback 如果附带三年 clawback，您在 18 个月后离开，可能仍需返还全部金额。递减式安排也可能按第一年 100%、第二年 66%、第三年 33% 计算，具体要看合同条款。
Work out the net result as interest savings plus cashback, less break costs, new-loan fees and any clawback. Also check whether the lender you are leaving has an earlier clawback. A lower ongoing rate can be better than a larger cashback over the period you expect to keep the loan.
可以用这个方法比较净收益：节省的利息加 cashback，减去 break cost、新贷款费用和提前离开触发的 clawback。同时查看现有贷款机构是否还有之前的 clawback。您预计持有贷款的时间内，较低的持续利率可能比更高的 cashback 更划算。
Ask for a complete cost schedule, including the date each clawback expires. Treat cashback as one part of the comparison, not the decision by itself.
比较时要求贷款机构或经纪人提供完整费用清单，并列明每项 clawback 的到期日。cashback 只是比较因素之一，不应单独决定转贷。
Loan structure after refinancing
转贷后的贷款结构
Refinancing gives you a chance to review the structure of the loan as well as the rate. The main choices are how much to fix, whether to split the loan and whether an offset or revolving facility fits your cash flow.
转贷时不仅可以比较利率，也可以重新检查贷款结构。主要问题包括固定多少、是否拆分贷款，以及 offset 或 revolving facility 是否符合您的现金流。
One common structure fixes part of the balance and keeps the rest floating. A borrower with a $600,000 loan might fix $450,000 for two years at 5.8% and leave $150,000 floating. The floating portion can accept extra repayments without a fixed-rate break cost, subject to the product terms.
一种常见结构是固定部分余额，同时保留一部分浮动。例如，60 万纽元贷款可以把 45 万固定两年，利率 5.8%，剩余 15 万保持浮动。只要符合产品条款，浮动部分通常更容易安排额外还款，也不会产生固定利率 break cost。
Splitting the loan across different fixed terms spreads the dates on which rates reset. For example, separate one-year, three-year and five-year portions can reduce the risk of the whole balance repricing at once, but the structure is more involved and may have different fees.
把贷款拆成不同固定期限，可以分散利率重新定价的时间。例如分别采用一年、三年和五年期限，就不必让全部余额同时按新利率调整，但结构和费用也会更复杂。
An offset or revolving facility links available cash to the loan balance. If $20,000 is held in an offset account against a $400,000 loan, interest may be calculated on $380,000. These products often have a higher floating rate, so compare the interest saving with the account cost and check the tax treatment.
offset 或 revolving facility 会把可用现金与贷款余额关联起来。如果 2 万纽元放在与 40 万纽元贷款关联的 offset 账户中，利息可能按 38 万纽元计算。这类产品的浮动利率通常更高，需要把节省的利息与账户成本放在一起比较，并确认税务处理。
A fully floating loan gives the most flexibility but may cost more. Fixing the entire balance is simpler but leaves less room for large repayments or a sale. Model the options against your likely income, cash reserves and plans before choosing.
全部采用浮动利率最灵活，但成本可能更高；全部固定则比较简单，但大额还款或出售房产时弹性较小。选择前，结合收入、现金储备和未来计划比较不同方案。
