Mortgage Calculator FAQs

How accurate is this mortgage calculator?

Our calculator provides a good estimate of your mortgage payments based on the information you provide. However, your actual mortgage payments may vary slightly due to factors such as exact closing date, lender-specific calculation methods, and additional costs like mortgage insurance or property taxes.

Does this calculator include property taxes and insurance?

The basic calculation focuses on principal and interest payments. For a more comprehensive view of your total housing costs, you should add estimated property taxes, home insurance, and condo fees (if applicable) to the monthly payment amount shown.

How do different payment frequencies affect my mortgage?

Accelerated bi-weekly payments can help you pay off your mortgage faster and save on interest costs. With this option, you make payments every two weeks, resulting in 26 half-payments per year (equivalent to 13 monthly payments instead of 12).

What is amortization vs. mortgage term?

The amortization period is the total time it would take to pay off your mortgage completely (typically 25-30 years). The mortgage term is the duration of your mortgage agreement with a specific lender (typically 1-10 years), after which you’ll need to renew or refinance.

Making Informed Mortgage Decisions

While our calculator offers valuable insights, making the right mortgage decision involves considering many factors specific to your situation. These include:

Your current and projected income
Other debt obligations
Long-term financial goals
Market conditions and interest rate trends
Potential for property value appreciation
Tax implications
