How Does The Mortgage Calculator Work?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Online mortgage calculators are available in which you simply put values and can calculate mortgage loans, interest payments automatically. There are some terminologies which you need to know to determine the mortgage values:

    PV = Sales prices of home/property
    n = maturity period
    C = periodic payment
    i = interest rate in the market = annual interest rate

    As the payment period in case of mortgages is monthly, therefore, 'n' will be in months, 'i' will be calculated by dividing annual interest rate with 12, 'C' will be put on monthly basis. You can put these values and can determine values of mortgages. For understanding the working of mortgage calculator click on the link below:

      You enter data that implies to mortgages, such as the following.

      APR
      term of the loan
      Purchase Amount
      Amount of down payment

      Additional payments

      Points (if applicable)

      The mortgage calculator will calculate your monthly payment, total payments, finance charges,
      and you can also obtain an amortization table that depicts how the finance charges, and amount appiled to the principle, and how the principle changes throughout the course of the loan.

      The best way to understand the mortgage process is through mathematics.
      Do some research, and study how payments are calculated, and study
      amortization tables. This is some beautiful mathematics, and I believe
      everyone should know.

      Negative amortization is what I believe to be the key factor to the growing number of foreclosures
      today. Also the lack of understanding of the mortgage process along with the financial terms and conditions of home loans.

      You have to teach yourself and be well versed in how the mortgages work, and have an understanding of the mathematics involved with these type of financial products.

      I'm just spreading the word of how important it is to know mathematics , especially
      when it deals with your money.

      Do some research on the following topics. It will only help you. Spread the word.

      Negative Amortization, Amortization, The Truth and Lending Act, FDIC, CD's, Money Market Accounts, Annuities.
