Mortgage Calculator
Most mortgages are for 15 or 30 years, but what if you want to pay it off sooner or you’re wondering how much longer you have to go?
Use this mortgage calculator to see when your mortgage will be paid off and when you’ll own your home free and clear.
How does a mortgage work?
A mortgage is an installment loan. You make payments in regular installments, for the same amount at the same time every month, until the loan is paid off.
Your payment could fluctuate if you have an escrow account or if you have an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM).
Once you pay off your mortgage, you’ll own your home free and clear.
If you sell your home before you pay off your mortgage, the proceeds of the sale will be used to pay off your loan.
If you refinance your home, your term is reset to either 15 or 30 years.
Find out how much your monthly mortgage payment will be.
