Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about mortgage calculations

How is the monthly mortgage payment calculated?

The monthly payment is calculated using the standard mortgage formula: M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ], where M is the monthly payment, P is the principal loan amount, i is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of payments.

What's included in the total monthly payment?

The total monthly payment includes: Principal & Interest (P&I), Property Taxes (monthly), Homeowner's Insurance (monthly), and HOA fees (if applicable). Our calculator breaks down each component for transparency.

How do extra payments affect my mortgage?

Extra payments go directly toward reducing the principal balance, which reduces the total interest paid over the life of the loan and can significantly shorten the loan term. Even small extra payments can save thousands in interest.

What's the difference between a 15-year and 30-year mortgage?

A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but much lower total interest costs and builds equity faster. A 30-year mortgage has lower monthly payments but higher total interest costs over the life of the loan.
