About Mortgage

What it calculates

From the property price, your deposit (as an amount or a percentage), the interest rate and the term, the calculator works out your monthly principal-and-interest payment, the loan amount, the total interest you will pay, the total of all payments and the payoff date.

Deposit as amount or percent

Type your deposit as a cash amount or as a percentage of the price — the two fields stay in sync automatically, so you can plan around a 10%, 15% or 20% deposit without doing the maths yourself.

Optional tax and insurance

Expand the extra section to add annual property tax and home insurance, and the tool shows your true monthly outgoing including those costs, not just the loan repayment.

Frequently asked questions

How is a monthly mortgage payment calculated?
It uses the standard amortisation formula: the loan amount times the monthly interest rate, divided by one minus (1 + monthly rate) to the power of minus the number of months. This spreads principal and interest evenly across the term.
How much deposit do I need?
It depends on the lender, but 5–20% of the property price is typical. Enter a percentage and the calculator shows the cash amount instantly — a bigger deposit means a smaller loan and less interest overall.
Does a bigger deposit reduce my payments?
Yes — a larger deposit means you borrow less, so both your monthly payment and the total interest fall. Try different deposit figures to see the effect.
Does this include tax and insurance?
Optionally. Add annual property tax and insurance in the extra section to see your full monthly cost; leave them blank for principal and interest only.
Is my financial data private?

Understanding Mortgage in depth

What a mortgage calculator does

A mortgage calculator turns the four numbers everyone knows - property price, deposit, interest rate and term - into the numbers that actually matter: your monthly payment, the total interest you will pay over the life of the loan, the total cost, and the date the mortgage is paid off. Seeing all of these together makes it far easier to compare deals and understand what you can really afford.

How the monthly payment is worked out

Mortgages use amortisation: each monthly payment is the same, but early on most of it is interest and only a little pays down the balance, while later the balance falls faster. The payment is calculated with the standard formula M = P × r × (1+r)^N ÷ ((1+r)^N − 1), where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12) and N is the number of monthly payments (years × 12). This tool applies that formula exactly, and handles the 0% edge case by simply dividing the loan by the number of months.

Why your deposit matters so much

Your deposit is subtracted from the price to give the amount you actually borrow, so a bigger deposit shrinks both the monthly payment and the total interest - often dramatically. Because deposits are quoted both ways, this calculator lets you enter a cash amount or a percentage and keeps the two in sync, so you can instantly see what a 10%, 15% or 20% deposit means in real money and in monthly cost.

Interest, term and the true cost of borrowing

Two things drive the total interest: the rate and the term. A lower rate obviously helps, but the term is just as powerful - a longer term lowers the monthly payment yet increases the total interest substantially, because you are borrowing for longer. The calculator shows total interest and total repaid alongside the monthly figure precisely so you can weigh a comfortable monthly payment against the lifetime cost.

Beyond principal and interest

The headline mortgage payment is only principal and interest, but your real monthly housing cost usually includes property tax and home insurance (and sometimes mortgage insurance or service charges). Add annual tax and insurance figures in the optional section and the tool shows your full monthly outgoing. Remember this is an estimate to help you plan - it is not financial advice, and a lender's official quote may differ. Everything is calculated in your browser, so your financial details are never uploaded.
