NAB has huge break fee - I am in 2 minds if I should break.
1.4M loan at 8.10% another 3 years to go - Break fee is now ..... 64K if break today . (An expensive lesson for sure !)
What's does your crystal ball say ?

hI sOYA,
Contracts differ, but generally it works like this.
Firstly, Your break fee is affected by 4 things.
1. Your Loan amount
2. The RBA Cash rate
3. The Fixed Rate you are on
4. How many FR years you have LEFT.
The bigger the difference between the Cash rate and your Fixed Rate - The bigger your break fee.
For example:
If your Fixed rate is 8.10%
If The Cash Rate is 5.25%
The difference is: 2.85%
1.4mil x 2.85%= $39,900
$39,900 x 3 years = $119,700
So- my answer would be NO! You have left it too late, as have I.
