Frequently asked questions

What is included in a monthly mortgage payment?

The payment is usually made of principal and interest, plus property tax and home insurance if your lender collects them in escrow. This calculator shows the principal-and-interest part separately so you can see both.

How does the down payment affect my mortgage?

A bigger down payment means a smaller loan, so your monthly payment and total interest both fall. In many countries a down payment of 20% or more can also remove the need for mortgage insurance.

Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage?

A 15-year term has a higher monthly payment but far less total interest, and you own the home sooner. A 30-year term is easier month to month but costs much more interest over the life of the loan.

Is this an exact quote from a lender?

No. It is an estimate using the standard mortgage formula. Your lender's exact payment depends on their rounding, fees, insurance requirements and the rate they actually offer you.
