Why Use Our Mortgage Calculator?

Planning to buy a home? Our Mortgage Calculator helps you estimate your monthly mortgage payments and understand your amortization schedule. With this tool, you can make informed decisions about your home financing.

How Does the Mortgage Calculator Work?

The Mortgage Calculator uses the home price, down payment, interest rate, and loan term to determine your monthly payment. You can choose between fixed term and fixed payments calculations to see how different scenarios affect your payments.

Benefits of Using Our Mortgage Calculator

Accuracy: Get precise calculations without the need for manual computations.

Convenience: Easily adjust your mortgage parameters and see immediate results.

Transparency: Understand exactly how much you’ll pay in interest and principal over the life of your mortgage.

Understanding Amortization Schedules

An amortization schedule breaks down your mortgage into a series of fixed payments over time. Each payment includes both principal and interest, with the proportion of each changing over the loan term. Initially, more of your payment goes toward interest, but as the loan progresses, more goes toward the principal.

Mathematical Formulas

The monthly payment $ M $ for a fixed-rate mortgage can be calculated using the formula:

\[ M = P \frac{r(1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1} \]

Where:

$ P $ is the principal loan amount (home price minus down payment).
$ r $ is the monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12).
$ n $ is the number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12).

Example Calculation

Suppose you have a home priced at $300,000 with a down payment of $30,000, an annual interest rate of 3.5%, and a loan term of 30 years. The principal loan amount $ P $ is:

\[ P = 300,000 – 30,000 = 270,000 \]

The monthly interest rate $ r $ is:

\[ r = \frac{3.5\%}{12} = \frac{0.035}{12} \approx 0.002917 \]

The number of payments $ n $ is:

\[ n = 30 \times 12 = 360 \]

The monthly payment $ M $ is then:

\[ M = 270,000 \times \frac{0.002917(1+0.002917)^{360}}{(1+0.002917)^{360}-1} \approx 1266.71 \]
