5. FAQs

Q1: What is amortization?

A: Amortization is the process of paying off a debt over time in regular installments. In a mortgage, each payment consists of both principal and interest. In the beginning, a larger portion of your payment goes toward interest. As you continue to make payments, more of each payment goes towards reducing the principal loan amount. Our schedule shows this breakdown for every payment.

Q2: How does the loan term affect my mortgage?

A: The loan term is the length of time you have to repay the loan. A shorter 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, making it more affordable month-to-month, but you will pay much more in total interest.

Q3: Does this calculator include taxes and insurance (PITI)?

A: No, this calculator focuses on the principal and interest (P&I) portion of a mortgage payment. Property taxes, homeowners’ insurance, and potential Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) are typically added to your monthly payment, often held in an escrow account. You should factor in these additional costs when determining your total housing budget.

Q4: Can I use this calculator for refinancing?

A: Yes, absolutely. To calculate a refinance, simply enter your remaining loan balance as the “Loan Amount,” the new interest rate you’ve been offered, and the new loan term. This will help you compare your current mortgage with a potential refinanced one.

Q5: Is my financial data safe?

A: Yes. All calculations are performed within your web browser. None of the financial information you enter is sent to our servers or stored anywhere. Your privacy is completely protected.
