About the RBA Rate Decision
Latest update (8 July 2025): The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has kept the cash rate target unchanged at 3.85% at its July 2025 meeting. This decision was made by majority (6 in favour, 3 against). While inflation has fallen substantially since its peak in 2022, with underlying inflation at 2.9% in the March quarter, the Board remains cautious about the outlook and is waiting for more information to confirm that inflation remains on track.

Impact on Your Mortgage
This calculator shows the impact of the previous rate cut from 4.10% to 3.85%. When the RBA reduces the cash rate, banks typically pass on some or all of the cut to their customers. This results in:
- Lower monthly repayments
- Reduced interest charges
- Opportunity to pay down principal faster
RBA's Current Outlook
The RBA Board remains focused on delivering price stability and full employment. While inflation has moderated significantly, the Board is cautious about the outlook and is monitoring global economic conditions, domestic demand, inflation, and labour market trends. The RBA has indicated that monetary policy is "well placed to respond decisively" to international developments.
Making the Most of Rate Cuts
To maximize the benefit of rate cuts, consider:
- Maintaining your current repayment amount to pay off your loan faster
- Using the savings to build an emergency fund
- Reviewing your loan terms to ensure you're getting the best deal
