What this calculator does
The mortgage calculator estimates your monthly home-loan repayment and shows how much of the total cost is interest. It helps you compare loan terms and see how a bigger down payment changes your payment.
How it's calculated
After subtracting your down payment from the property price to get the loan amount, the tool uses the standard amortising-loan formula:
M = L × r × (1+r)n ÷ ((1+r)n − 1)
where L is the loan amount, r the monthly interest rate and n the number of monthly payments.
How to use it
- Enter the property price.
- Enter your down payment.
- Enter the annual interest rate and the loan term in years.
- Calculate to see the monthly payment, total interest and total paid.
What this estimate leaves out
The figure covers principal and interest only. Your real monthly cost may also include property taxes, home insurance, and (in some countries) mortgage insurance or HOA fees. Treat the result as a planning estimate.
