Frequently Asked Questions
How is the monthly mortgage payment calculated?
The monthly payment is calculated using the formula: M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n-1], where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the total number of payments. This produces a fixed monthly payment for the life of the loan.
What is an amortization schedule?
An amortization schedule shows a breakdown of each monthly payment into principal and interest portions. Early payments are mostly interest, while later payments are mostly principal. The schedule helps you understand how your loan balance decreases over time.
How does the down payment affect my mortgage?
A larger down payment reduces the loan amount, which lowers your monthly payment and the total interest paid over the life of the loan. Typically, a down payment of 20% or more avoids private mortgage insurance (PMI).
Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage?
A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but significantly lower total interest costs. A 30-year mortgage offers lower monthly payments but costs more in total interest. Use this calculator to compare both options and choose what fits your budget.
Does this calculator include taxes and insurance?
This calculator computes principal and interest payments only. Property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and PMI are additional costs that vary by location. Add roughly 1-2% of the home value per year for these expenses as a rough estimate.
