❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How is the monthly mortgage payment calculated?

The calculator uses the standard mortgage formula for fixed-rate loans: a combination of principal and interest based on your loan amount, annual rate and term in years. Extra monthly payments reduce the principal faster and can shorten the payoff time.

What is the difference between principal and interest?

Principal is the amount you borrow to buy the property. Interest is the cost of borrowing that money from the bank or lender. Over a long mortgage, total interest can be very large compared to the original principal.

Does this calculator support variable or adjustable rates?

This tool assumes a fixed interest rate across the full loan term. For variable or adjustable-rate mortgages, you can still use it for rough planning by entering your current rate, but real costs may change if the rate moves up or down.

Can I use this as a home affordability calculator?

Yes. Enter different loan amounts and see how the total monthly housing cost compares to your income. Many lenders prefer housing costs to stay under a certain percentage of your monthly take home pay.
