Please consult with a qualified financial advisor or mortgage broker before making any significant financial decisions.

How It Works

Our mortgage calculator uses the standard amortization formula: M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n−1], where P is the principal loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12), and n is the total number of monthly payments. Total interest is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the number of payments and subtracting the principal.

When to Use This

Use this calculator before making an offer on a home to understand your monthly budget commitment. It is also useful when comparing a 15-year vs. 30-year loan, or when shopping for different interest rates from lenders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a monthly mortgage payment?
A standard monthly mortgage payment consists of Principal and Interest (P&I). Many homeowners also pay Property Taxes, Homeowners Insurance, and PMI in their single monthly bill.
How is mortgage interest calculated?
Interest is calculated daily based on your outstanding principle balance, usually paid in arrears with your monthly payment.
Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage?
A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but saves you drastically on total interest paid. A 30-year mortgage is more affordable monthly but costs more over the lifetime of the loan.
