Real Estate Financing Calculators

Calculating Home Payments and Saving Up a Down Payment.

Mortgage Payment Calculator

This tool allows you to calculate your monthly home loan payments, using various loan terms, interest rates, and loan amounts. It includes advanced features like amortization tables and the ability to calculate a loan including property taxes, homeowners insurance & property mortgage insurance.


Rent vs Buy Calculator

In some areas renting is a far better deal while in other areas it makes much more sense to buy a home. Plug your numbers into this calculator and we'll tell you which option we thinks makes more economic sense given your local data and home price appreciation & rental inflation assumptions.


Remaining Home Loan Balance Calculator

See how much you owe on your loan balance right now, or calculate where at might be at some point in the future like at the end of next year.


How Much Home Can I Afford?

This tool uses your current monthly rent payment to estimate how much loan you can afford while spending the same amount each month. We also offer a loan qualifier tool which highlights maximum loan affordability based on the buyer's income & a tool to compare the financial benefits of renting or buying.


Down Payment

Quickly estimate the down payment needed to meet a monthly budget, or use our down payment savings goal planner to figure out how long it will take you to reach a desired down payment.


Loan Payoff Date Estimator

Estimate when your loan will be paid off given your current payments.


Extra Payment Calculator

Use this calculator to see how extra payments are likely to impact your amortization schedule.


Advanced Extra Payment Calculator

This calculator is similar to the above calculator except it allows you to add a broad range of extra payment types. For example, you could combine an extra weekly payment of $25 for 3 years and then switch over to an extra monthly payment of $150 for 2 years. Or you could do both at the same time along with various one-time payments. If your extra payments will be continuous until the loan is paid off & you intend to make them monthly then you can use this payoff calculator which includes a graphical layout.


Monthly Interest + Principal Cost Per Thousand

See how much you are paying to borrow per month, per year, or over the duration of the loan term.


Calculate Real APR

Advertised vs actual home loan interest costs may vary singificantly based on points, origination fees & closing costs. Use this tool to estimate your real mortgage APR (Annual Percentage Rate) inclusive of these other mortgage expenses.


Mortgage Affordability

This calculator estimates how much home you can likely afford given your current income and debt payments.


Interest Tax Deduction Estimator

One of the advantages of real estate investment is that some homeowners may qualify to deduct mortgage interest payments from their income when filing their taxes. This calculator estimates your tax savings after a house purchase. Financial analysis is provided for an initial period selected by the user & subsequent years throughout the duration of the loan term.


Mortgage Refinancing Calculator

Is your current interest rate on your house too high? Use this free tool to view today's best home loan refi rates from top lenders & estimate your savings at a lower APR (Annual Percentage Rate).


Discount Points Savings Estimator

Discount points are an upfront fee which homeowners can pay to access lower mortgage rates. This calculator helps you discover if you should consider paying points on your home loan & calculate how quickly the points will pay for themselves.. We also offer a discount points calculator which compares the impact of rolling the cost of points into the loan versus paying points upfront.


Home Equity Line of Credit Calculator

Do you currently carry high interest revolving credit on credit cards, cars & other personal loans? You may be able to leverage a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to lower your monthly debt payments. Lenders typically allow borrowers to receive up to 80% of their home equity, though the precise LTV limit will depende on broader market conditions, your credit score and how valuable your customer relationship is to the bank. We also offer HELOC qualification & repayment calculators along with a calculator for using HELOCs for debt consolidation purposes.

Credit Line Qualification

See how much equity you qualify to borrow against your home.


Mortgage Qualification

Use industry-standard debt to income ratios to see if you are likely to qualify for a particular loan given your current monthly income and outstanding debt obligations.


Closing Costs

This estimator and guide helps home buyers estimate the total closing costs on a home loan.


Affordable Payment Range

This tool automatically calculates the basic monthly principal & interest payment for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 & interest-only loans. Using those as a baseline, a person can then enter a minimum & maximum monthly payment to see how long those loans will take to amortize & the total interest cost of those loans. We also offer the following: 10-year, 15-year & 20-year mortgage calculators which include advanced features like PMI, HOA, property taxes & homeowner's insurance. While uncommon loan terms in the United States, some of our visitors have also asked us to offer 25-year, 40-year, 50-year & 100-year calculators. Loans over 30 years typically are not a great choice for most home buyers.


Second Mortgage Calculator

Use this calculator if you are unsure if you should pay PMI on a conventional mortgage with less than 20% down or if you should use a piggyback second mortgage to augment your downpayment and bypass PMI requirements.


Cash Out Refi

Use this tool to quickly see how much money you can borrow against your built up home equity.


Loan-to-Value

Calculate the ratio of your mortgage liens to the appraised value of your property and see how much you qualify to borrow via a cash-out refinance or a home equity loan.


Home Equity Loans

Consolidate debts & leverage equity to pay for major home improvements or other big one-time expenses, like vehicles.


Interest-Only Calculator

This tool helps buyers calculate current interest-only payments, but most interest-only loans are adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs). When the housing market is hot many people chase it, buying near the peak with interest-only loans. If home prices continue to climb, one can refinance at a lower rate. However if rates reset higher, so too will payments — causing home prices to decline & many marginal buyers to lose their equity & perhaps their homes.


Interest-Only Loan With Additional Payments

One problem with interest-only loans is that unless home prices rise the homeowner does not build any equity in their house, which puts them in a precarious position when mortgage rates rise. One way to build a bit of a buffer from market fluctuations is by adding extra payments applied toward your principal.


Mortage Rates Comparison

Are you looking at a couple different loan quotes? Use this free mortgage calculator to get a side-by-side view of multiple loan quotes to select the best offer. For each quote you can select different rates, terms, points, origination fees & closing costs. 15-year loans build home equity faster, whereas 30-year mortgages offer lower monthly payments.


Bi-Weekly Mortgage Payments

In the early years of a longterm loan, most of the payment is applied toward interest. Home buyers can shave years off their loan by paying bi-weekly & making extra payments. Bi-weekly payments help you pay off principal in an accelerated fashion — before interest has a chance to compound on it.

In making biweekly payments, those 26 annual payments effectively create an additional (13th) month of regular payments in each calendar year.


Adjustable Rates

Provides estimates of monthly payments for loans which periodically reset via adjustable rates. We also offer automated calculators pre-populated for borrowers exploring 3/1, 5/1, 7/1, 10/1, Pay-Option & Interest-Only ARMs.
