How mortgage payments are calculated

Your monthly mortgage payment depends on three things: the loan amount (principal), the annual interest rate, and the loan term. This calculator uses the standard amortization formula to show your fixed monthly payment.

Principal vs interest

In the early years, most of your payment goes toward interest. Over time, more goes toward paying down the principal. The total interest figure shows how much the loan costs you beyond the amount borrowed.

Tips to pay less interest

  • Choose a shorter term (e.g. 15 vs 30 years)
  • Make extra principal payments
  • Shop around for the lowest rate
