Compare offers on comparison rate and total repayable, not on the monthly repayment. A longer term lowers the repayment but makes the loan more expensive.
How the repayment is calculated
The calculator uses an amortising schedule: the repayment is the same every month, only the split between interest and principal changes. Early on most of the repayment is interest; towards the end it is mostly principal.
An upfront fee does not change the monthly repayment, but it raises the total cost and the comparison rate. That is why you should compare offers on comparison rate and total amount repayable, not on the interest rate alone.
Good to know
Look at the comparison rate
The comparison rate includes the interest rate and most fees and charges, so it shows the true cost of a loan better than the interest rate alone.
Longer term = more interest
A longer term lowers the repayment, but you pay more interest overall.
