Mortgage Calculator
Overview
Finding a mortgage loan in the UK is straightforward. From newspaper ads to online searches, offers with low interest rates and perks to attract borrowers are everywhere. But when an offer claims it can save you a certain amount compared to others, how do you know how much it will really save you on your mortgage? And if it's a short-term deal, how do its standard rates compare to what you're currently paying? The solution is simple: use a mortgage calculator to compare offers.
Using a Mortgage Calculator
A mortgage calculator is a handy tool available on many finance-related websites. It works by taking the mortgage amount, interest rate, and loan duration you provide and calculating your monthly repayments. By inputting details for different mortgage offers, you can see both the monthly cost and the total cost over the life of the loan.
Making Comparisons
To accurately compare offers, print out each set of results and analyze them side by side. If the calculator can't handle varying interest rates over the loan's life, you'll need to do a few calculations. For example, if you start with a fixed rate of 4.5% for four years and then switch to a rate of 6.75%, calculate the repayments at each rate separately to find the total cost.
Calculating Affordability
Beyond comparisons, a mortgage calculator can help determine how much you can afford to borrow. Use a calculator that allows you to reverse the process by entering the monthly repayment you can manage and the interest rate. It will estimate the total mortgage loan you can apply for. Remember, lenders typically don’t offer more than 3.5 times your salary for a mortgage covering more than 75% of the property’s value.
In summary, using a mortgage calculator empowers you to make informed decisions and choose the best mortgage for your financial situation.
