Mortgage Calculator FAQ

Common questions about mortgage calculations

How accurate are mortgage calculators?

Mortgage calculators provide estimates based on the information entered. Actual lender payments, rates, insurance premiums, taxes, fees and loan requirements may differ.

What is included in a monthly mortgage payment?

A mortgage payment may include principal, interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance and other property-related costs such as HOA dues.

What is mortgage amortization?

Amortization is the process of paying down a loan over time through scheduled payments. Early in many fixed-rate mortgages, a larger portion of each payment goes toward interest. Over time, more of the payment generally goes toward principal.

Can extra payments reduce mortgage interest?

Extra principal payments can reduce the outstanding loan balance faster, which may reduce future interest and shorten the payoff period. Your loan terms and any applicable restrictions should always be reviewed.

When does refinancing make sense?

Refinancing depends on factors such as the new interest rate, closing costs, remaining loan balance, expected monthly savings and how long you expect to keep the loan. A break-even calculation can help compare those costs and potential savings.
