Understanding Your Mortgage
A mortgage is likely the largest financial commitment you will ever make. Understanding the true cost of your home loan is crucial for making informed decisions. This calculator breaks down your monthly payment and shows you how much of each payment goes toward principal versus interest over the life of the loan.
The amortization schedule above reveals an important truth: in the early years of your mortgage, the majority of your payment goes toward interest, not principal. Over time, this ratio shifts. Making extra principal payments early on can save you tens of thousands of dollars in interest and shave years off your mortgage.
Your down payment percentage affects more than just the loan amount. Putting down less than 20% typically requires private mortgage insurance (PMI), which adds to your monthly cost. A larger down payment also means lower monthly payments and less total interest paid over the life of the loan.
When comparing mortgage offers, do not just look at the interest rate. Consider the Annual Percentage Rate (APR), which includes fees and other costs. Also compare the total interest paid over the loan term, as a shorter loan at a slightly higher rate can sometimes cost less overall than a longer loan at a lower rate.
