b. you (or someone on your behalf) have made a deposit of any amount (interest paid into your account does not qualify as a deposit in terms of bonus interest eligibility); and
c. the account balance on the last business day of the month is higher than the account balance on the last business day of the previous month.
Note: Bonus interest is calculated in the system after 11:59pm on the last business day of the month. Any transaction processed before 11:59pm may impact bonus interest eligibility.

The interest calculations are estimates only on the information provided and not intended as a recommendation to make specific savings contributions or to be relied on as an exact amount of what you may earn. This calculator doesn't take into account the impact of fees and charges, tax on interest earned, changes to interest rates, bonus interest eligibility and any withdrawals over the savings period.

If you need assistance, contact one of our bankers or obtain advice from financial adviser.

How this calculator works
Interest is calculated using the compound interest formula on the starting balance and factors in any regular monthly deposit. The calculator assumes no withdrawals are made by you and there are no changes in interest rates even though the bank may vary interest rates from time to time. The calculation method varies slightly from Westpac products and therefore results can only be used as an estimate 

Calculator assumptions and method
The displayed interest rate is for illustration purposes only and you may manually input your own interest rate into the calculator. Each calculation starts on the first calendar day of the current month and assumes all deposits are made on the first day of the calendar month. Interest is calculated daily and compounded monthly at the end of the calendar month on the “How much I could save” and “How long it may take me to save” calculators. Interest is calculated and compounded monthly at the end of the calendar month on the “How much I may need to save” calculator. Total amounts (including interest earned) are rounded to the nearest cent.
