Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is amortization?

Amortization is the process of paying off a debt over time through regular installments. In the early years of a mortgage, a larger portion of your payment goes toward interest. As time goes on, more of your payment goes toward reducing the principal loan amount. Our schedule shows this process in detail.

2. How does the loan term affect my payments?

A shorter loan term (e.g., 15 years) will have higher monthly payments but will save you a significant amount of money in total interest over the life of the loan. A longer term (e.g., 30 years) has lower monthly payments, but you’ll pay much more in total interest.

3. Does this calculator include taxes and insurance (PITI)?

This calculator focuses on the principal and interest (P&I) portion of your payment. It does not include property taxes, homeowners’ insurance, or Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). Your actual monthly payment to the lender will likely be higher to account for these PITI components.

4. What is the benefit of a larger down payment?

A larger down payment reduces your total loan amount, which lowers your monthly payment and decreases the total interest you’ll pay. It can also help you avoid the need for Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), which is often required for down payments under 20%.

5. How can I use the comparison chart?

First, run a calculation with your initial loan details. Then, change one of the inputs (like the loan term from 30 to 15 years) and click “Calculate” again. The comparison chart will automatically update to show you the total cost of both scenarios side-by-side, providing a powerful visual of potential savings.
