🏠 What is a Mortgage Calculator?

A mortgage calculator is an essential tool for anyone considering buying a home. It helps you estimate your monthly mortgage payments based on the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Our advanced calculator goes beyond basic calculations to include multi-currency support, prepayment options, and detailed amortization schedules.

💰 How Mortgage Payments Work

Mortgage payments consist of two main components: principal and interest. The principal is the amount you borrowed, while the interest is the cost of borrowing that money. In the early years of your mortgage, a larger portion of your payment goes toward interest. As you pay down the loan, more of your payment goes toward reducing the principal.

📊 Understanding Your Results

The calculator provides detailed information about your mortgage:

  • Monthly Payment: The amount you'll pay each month
  • Total Principal: The total amount you'll pay toward the loan amount
  • Total Interest: The total amount you'll pay in interest over the life of the loan
  • Amortization Schedule: A detailed breakdown of each payment showing how much goes toward principal vs. interest

These projections help you understand the true cost of your mortgage and make informed decisions about your home purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the mortgage payment calculated?

The calculator uses the standard fixed-rate amortization formula: M = P × [ i(1+i)^n / ((1+i)^n − 1) ], where P is the loan amount, i is the periodic interest rate (APR divided by the number of payments per year), and n is the total number of payments.

What do "amortization period" and "term" mean?

The amortization period is the total time to pay the loan to zero. The term is the length of your current rate agreement. In many markets you renegotiate or refinance at the end of the term while continuing the same amortization schedule.

Does this tool support bi-weekly and weekly payments?

Yes. Choose your desired frequency, and the calculator converts APR to the matching periodic rate and generates the correct number of payments per year.

How are prepayments applied?

Prepayments reduce principal directly. If you select "Each Payment," the extra amount is added to principal every period after the start payment number. If you select "Annual," the extra is added at the final payment of each year.

Why does early interest look so high?

Because interest is calculated on the outstanding balance, early payments allocate more to interest and less to principal. As the balance falls, the interest portion declines and principal grows.
