Plan your future home ownership with precision and clarity.
The Formula Behind Your Mortgage
Understanding how your monthly mortgage payment is calculated is the first step toward financial empowerment. The calculation is based on a standard formula used across the financial industry:
M: Your total monthly mortgage payment.
P: The principal loan amount (the amount you borrow).
i: Your monthly interest rate (your annual rate divided by 12).
n: The number of payments over the loan’s lifetime (loan years multiplied by 12).

5. FAQs
What is amortization?
Amortization is the process of paying off a debt over time through regular payments. A portion of each payment goes towards the loan’s principal, and another portion goes towards interest. Our amortization schedule shows you this breakdown for every single payment.
How does the loan term affect my payments?
A shorter loan term (e.g., 15 years) will result in higher monthly payments but significantly less total interest paid over the life of the loan. A longer term (e.g., 30 years) will have lower monthly payments, but you’ll pay much more in total interest.
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, homeowner’s insurance, or private mortgage insurance (PMI). Your actual monthly payment to the lender will likely be higher to account for these escrowed items.
Can I see how extra payments would affect my loan?
Currently, this tool calculates a standard repayment schedule. The ability to factor in extra monthly or lump-sum payments is a feature we are considering for future updates. Making extra payments directly to the principal can dramatically shorten your loan term and reduce total interest.
Is the interest rate fixed for the whole term?
This calculator assumes a fixed-rate mortgage, where the interest rate remains the same for the entire loan term. It is not designed for adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), where the interest rate can change after an initial period.
