Mortgage Calculator or Amortization Table?
By Karen Kirby

Both a mortgage calculator and an amortization table can be used to find out the monthly payment required on the property you would like to buy, but they approach the calculation differently.

Although they have similar functions, the mortgage calculator and the amortization table each have their own place in your mortgage control system.

Mortgage calculators range from ones that calculate a simple loan, to those that can work out exactly how much you can afford, to those that will determine how much you can borrow for a home loan depending on your current situation. Mortgage calculators are a good way for you to get a general idea of what you need.

An amortization table, on the the other hand, is an extensive spreadsheet of every detail of each type of loan, length of loan, interest rate, and many other factors that can confuse a novice.

A mortgage calculator may not give you as much information as an amortization table, but it may present basic information clearer and quicker. Once you have a good idea what you want in a loan, then an amortization table can help you delve deeper into the long-term ramifications of the loan.

They can be used separately, but their strength lies in a combination of both to enable a closer watch of the financial picture of your mortgage.

The Secret to Using Your Amortization Spreadsheet to Save $100,000
By Edward Lathrop

If you were to look at the how your mortgage amortizes, you would find the early months’ payments would include a lot of interest and only a little principle being paid. Conversely, you’d find down toward the bottom of the amortization table, or spreadsheet, where the mortgage is in its waning months, the interest part of the payment will be small and principle part of the payment will be large.

The fact very little principle is being paid in the early months of a mortgage seems unfair. It as if you are spinning your wheels in the first few years of the mortgage, as you make your payment every month, but the balance doesn’t seem to get any smaller.

In this article, we’re going to talk about how to turn this perceived disadvantage into an advantage that when used properly can lead to paying your mortgage in full years ahead of schedule!

Amortization is Slow in Early Months

The process of paying a mortgage is known as amortization. The rate of how slowly or quickly the principal is being paid is said to be how the mortgage amortizes. The document showing how our mortgage amortizes is an amortization table, chart, schedule, or spreadsheet.

As we noted earlier, in the first few months of a mortgage, we see little amortization taking place. With a $200,000 mortgage, at 7% over 30 years, the monthly payment due is $1,330.60. If we look at an amortization schedule we see that in the second month we pay $164.89 of the principle, while the rest of the monthly payment, $1,165.71, is all interest. Now, how can we turn this to our advantage?

Looking at the next payment, we see we will be paying $165.85 principal. Now, bear in mind the principal part of the payment is the time charge of the payment. So, if we don’t use any time, we don’t pay any interest. Therefore, by adding another $165.85 to this next payment we will save ourselves from having to pay an amount of money that is equal to the interest on this payment. This amount is $1,164.75.

The Last Few Months are All Principal

Turning our attention to the last few months of the mortgage, we see those payments are mostly principal. So doubling up on our payments during these months is more difficult because we have to add a lot to our payment to save a small amount of time value. Still, it can be done. However, we just won’t get as much bang for our buck.

Make 6 Payments at a Time, Easily!

Now, we can see the high interest part of the mortgage, which is the early part of the mortgage, presents us with an opportunity. It is conceivable, we could make 5 extra payments at a time in this part of the mortgage because it would cost less than an extra $850 to do so. By making only six, of these $850 payments on your mortgage, you would cut about three years off of the time of the mortgage and in doing so would save 30 payments of $1330.60, which equals nearly a $40,000 savings!

The Early Months of Amortization is Our Secret Weapon

Of course, you probably couldn’t keep making six payments at a time for very long because the principal part of the mortgage payment starts to increase at a relatively rapid pace. Still if you only made these 6 payments this way, you would be well ahead of the game.

In conclusion, using this method is a little known way to save a lot of money, maybe even a hundred grand, or so, on interest!

Simple Interest Rate Amortization Schedules Explained
By Edward Lathrop

Amortization schedules are important simply because they show you how each mortgage payment breaks down into its two parts, principal and interest. With this knowledge, you can adjust your payments to include future principal payments which in turn will save you from paying their corresponding interest payments.

This means if a particular payment is split up in such a way that requires $200 in principal and $1000 in interest be paid, you can save the $1,000 by paying the $200 before this payment is due. In making these types of adjustments, you can save tens of thousands of dollars because you will economically be shortening the term of the mortgage.

Simple Interest Vs. Compounded Interest

I have been asked about simple interest amortization schedules. They’re really isn’t too much to explain. The opposite of simple interest is compounded interest. No compounding takes place in the paying of a mortgage. So, all amortization schedules are simple interest. Let’s prove this supposition.

On a $200,000 mortgage at six percent for two years, we can see when looking at this mortgage’s amortization table, the 25th payment has a principal due of $224.42. When we look at the 26th payment we can see that the interest due is $974.68. The total amount due on the mortgage before the 25th payment is paid is $194,936.47. To borrow this amount of money for one month would cost $974.68.

How do we know this? One way is to look at the amortization table and see what the interest is on the 25th payment. Another way to find out would be to calculate this longhand. Here’s how to do that:

$194,936.47 times 6% divided by 12 equals $974.68. Take note that six percent divided by 12 gives us the interest rate for one month. You can easily see there is no compounding taking place here. Here’s what would happen if compounding took place. The amount due monthly on the same mortgage is $1,199.10. If you were to pay this amount of money each month into a savings account whose interest compounded monthly, after 28 years your investment would be $1,046,459.33.

The significance of 28 years is that it is the amount of time from the end of the loan working backward until the 25th payment is due. At the time of this payment, as we previously discussed, the amount due on the mortgage is $194,936.47. So this proves amortization schedules are simple interest.

Interest Only Amortization

Sometimes people mistakenly use the term simple interest when they are referring to interest only. With an interest only loan, no amortization takes place. For instance, $200,000 borrowed at six percent on an interest only loan would require a payment of $1,000 each month. This $1,000 would pay nothing toward the principal, so the loan would not be amortizing. In other words, at the end of any time period from one month until infinity, the amount of principal owed would always be $200,000.

Variable Rate Mortgage Amortization

Another case in mistaken identity is referring to a simple interest amortization schedule when a person wants to refer to an amortization table for fixed interest rate mortgages opposed to a variable interest rate mortgage.

To make an amortization table for a variable interest rate mortgage, you would have to know exactly what the interest rate would be at each point throughout the term of the loan. This is impossible because variable interest rate mortgages are built on the premise the mortgage rate could go up or down. Therefore, there is no such thing as a variable rate amortization table.

So a simple interest rate amortization table is the only amortization schedule available and it is a very important piece of mathematical equations. Knowing how to use it can save you a lot of money on your mortgage. Here’s one way:

Look at the principle on the payment at the halfway point of the schedule. This would be payment number 181 on a thirty-year mortgage. Here, you would look at the principle part of the payment. If you took this amount of money and added it to each monthly payment, your mortgage would be paid in half the time.

How To Figure Out Mortgage Payments Without a Mortgage Calculator
By Edward Lathrop

In today’s world, taking out a mortgage is necessary for anyone who wants to invest in real estate or simply wants to put a roof over his head. Usually, to find out what a mortgage payment will be on a particular property, a potential buyer needs to contact a realtor or bank to get a quote.

By contacting either one, the buyer risks harassment from a realtor who won’t let go of a qualified buyer, or a lender who needs to lend mortgage money to stay in business. Any buyer in his right mind will only go to one of these salespeople when he is ready to go full speed ahead toward a closing.

So, what does a person who is in the early thinking stages of buying a home do? How do you know what the payment will be on a house a seller is asking $250,000 for when the bank is advertising 30-year mortgages at 7%?

By the end of this article you will be making such a calculation in your head. You will be sprouting out the answer to complicated home buying scenarios just as fast as you can find the terms on the mortgage and the price on the house.

$66.53 a Month

First, remember this: $10,000 borrowed for 30 years at 7% will require a monthly payment of $66.53. So, it stands to reason $100,000 for 30 years at 7% requires a monthly payment of $665.30. Also take note you could figure out on a piece of paper with a pencil, $50,000 for 30 years at 7% is $332.65.

Knowing these figures, you automatically know a $250,000 mortgage at 7% for 30 years will require a payment of $665.30 (for $100,000) and another $665.30 (for the next $100,000) and $332.65 (for $50,000). This means the payment will be $1,663.25, or really, really close. A mortgage calculator gives the answer as $1,663.26, but for a wild guess, I’ll take it.

A 6% or an 8% Mortgage

Of course, here you ask, “What if I find a mortgage with a lower interest rate?” Well in that case, remember this, $10,000 borrowed for 30 years at 6% costs the borrower $59.96 a month. This means a $1,000,000 mortgage for 30 years at 6% will be 100 times $59.96 or, a monthly payment of $5,996.00. Now, certainly that was easy. All we had to do was add 2 zeros!

Okay, what about if the interest rate is 8%? Here, a 30-year mortgage for $10,000 is $73.38 each month. So a $300,000 mortgage will come at a cost of 30 times that or, $2,201.40 a month.

How About a 7 1/4% Mortgage?

In reality, most times interest rates will not be exactly 6 or 7, or 8%. Even when this is the case, you still don’t need a mortgage calculator. If you read about a 30-year $260,000 mortgage at 7 1/4%, for instance, and you want to know what the monthly payment will be, here’s what you do. Are you ready? Guess!

That’s right! Just guess! You know 7% will cost you $66.53 per $10,000 a month and 8% will cost $73.38 per $10,000 a month. You also know 7 1/4 is somewhere on the lower side between 7 and 8 so take a guess how much 7 1/4% will cost per $10,000 a month. My guess would be maybe, $68.50?

I’ll go with that. So, since it is a $260,000 mortgage we’re trying to figure the payment for, we will multiply 26 (260,000 / 10,000) X $68.50. The answer is: $1,781.

When I run $260,000 at 7 1/4% for 30 years through a mortgage payment calculator the answer comes out $1,773.66. So, our answer wasn’t precisely right, but it was pretty close.

In a case like this, even if we came out with an answer that is $20-$30 off, who cares? Before the real mortgage payment is determined, the cost of a homeowner’s insurance policy and property taxes will have to be calculated anyway. So, the best anybody can do at this point is guess.

There you have it. Now, you’re a human calculator! As long as you’re only concerned with 30-year mortgages, and today’s going interest rates, which are 6% to 8%, you can figure out mortgage payments in your head, or maybe with just a little help from a pocket calculator. Congratulations!

First Mortgage Calculators
By Ross Bainbridge

First mortgage is a loan taken on a property for the first time. The date of each loan determines what position it is in and the remaining amount is listed out in the calculators. So, these calculators are often called First mortgage calculators. This First mortgage loan has a priority over all other subsequent loans.

Mortgage loans generally involve inputs like the desired mortgage amount, which is the total loan amount one is looking for. Next in the line are the monthly housing expenses, which make up the taxes and insurance portion of one’s monthly payment. Monthly housing payment includes your principal, interest, real estate taxes, hazard insurance, association dues or fees, and Principal Mortgage Insurance (PMI). This gives the total Principal, Interest, Tax and Insurance (PITI) payment per month. Other inputs are monthly liabilities, maximum principal and interest (PI), starting interest rates and term in years.

There are different types of online calculators to calculate mortgage payment tables, to check mortgage affordability, to verify whether one is eligible for loan, and to find the mortgage pre-payment. Calculator programs used to find the monthly payment tables take minimal and simple inputs like minimum and maximum principal and interest, number of years, and the output format. Mortgage affordability is checked using annual income, interest rates, length of loan, and monthly debt. Loan qualification requires monthly mortgage principal and interest, expected annual property rate and home insurance, sale price of home, and down payment. Mortgage pre-payment takes in loan amount, interest rate, and length of loan. All these information are processed immediately and the results are displayed in the desired format. The processing methods are updated to follow the latest regulatory and tax laws. Some offer print modes of the results along with the inputs.

Most of these calculators available online are downloadable and free. An additional advantage is that they are java-enabled and programmed to work in all operating systems. Calculators are available from $1500 and come out with user-friendly interfaces. Connecting to the Web sites periodically allows the users update the software. Source codes are also available with a small increase in the fee.

Amortization Table – Calculate Your Own the Quick and Easy Way
By Edward Lathrop

Within the world of finance is a world of borrowing because using other people’s money is how regular people get started in big business.

Borrowing is also how people who don’t happen to have $400,000 at their disposal purchase nice new homes in nice neighborhoods. Without mortgages, very few people would own homes and the middle class wouldn’t exist, as there would be two classes of people, the homeowners and those who rented from them.

The most important part of borrowing is knowing how much money you are paying back to the lender and how much money you are wasting on interest. Central to this knowledge is the understanding of what an amortization table is and how to use it.

In this article not only will we discuss these two things, but also you will actually be taught how to build an amortization table and we will calculate one as we go along.

What will the table tell us?

The first step to calculating an amortization table is the understanding of what the table will tell us. In short, amortization tables break monthly payments into two parts, the principal paid and the interest paid. So, it would behoove us if we knew what the total monthly payment was to begin with.

I know, it probably sounds like a cop out because we could calculate the payment, but that part of the equation will be left for another article. Here, we’re going to go to a financial or mortgage calculator and find out the payment. Then, we will do the calculations to break the payment down into its two parts.

Let’s start by using an example. In this example, the numbers may sound peculiar but we are going to use numbers that will make the example easy to follow. So, let’s say we have a mortgage with a principle of $360,000. The mortgage will be paid off over 30 years, or 360 monthly payments. The interest rate will be a 1970’s type 12%.

Interest calculation formula

Now, we will see how much interest we will pay on the first payment. First we will take the amount of principal we have left to pay. In this case it will be the whole mortgage of $360,000. We need to divide it by the number of months we have left to pay because we are building a monthly amortization table. This will tell us the amount we are paying interest on for one month.

Next, we want to multiply this amount by one month’s interest. One month’s interest will be found by dividing the yearly interest rate by 12. Then we have to multiply this amount by the number of months left to pay on the mortgage, in this case 360. If we didn’t do this, we would just be seeing the amount of interest that would be paid if there were only one month left to pay the mortgage.

Simplify the formula

Here’s how that formula looks: Int. on month’s payment=principal left/ number of months left x monthly interest x number of months left. Now, if you look at the formula you will see the term “number of months left” twice. Once it is a numerator (above the line) and once it is a denominator (below the line). This means we can divide it by itself. So, the formula now looks like: Int. on month’s payment=principal left x monthly interest. Pretty easy, huh!

Begin calculating

Now, let’s build our amortization table. $360,000 x .01= $3,600. This is the interest paid the first month. Not sure where the .01 came from? It is 12%, or .12, which is the yearly interest rate divided by 12 giving us the monthly interest rate.

Next, we take the monthly payment we got from a mortgage calculator, which is $3,703.01, and we know the interest on the first payment is $3,600 so we will subtract it from $3,703.01, which will tell us the principal part of the first payment is $103.01. This is the first entry in our amortization table. $3,6000 interest and $103.01 principal.

At this point, we know we no longer owe $360,000 on the mortgage because we have paid $103.01, so the principal left is now $360,000 – $103.01, or $359,896.99. We now multiply this number by .01 to get the interest part of the second payment. This is $3,598.97 and, since we know the total payment is $3,703.01, we will subtract $3,598.97 from it to get $104.04 which is the principal paid on the second payment.

There you have it. You just continue calculating in this way for another 358 payments and you will have built your amortization table completely by hand. This, by the way, is something few people can say!

Even if you don’t continue on making these calculations, you now know, from a very inside perspective, exactly what amortization is all about!

To some, they would try first to look for the best fixed rate mortgage. It will depend on the timing if you decide on looking for the best fixed rate loan.

Another type of buyer is those who try and do mortgage rate predictions. This is one of those weird things you shouldn’t do. Anyone who will tell you that they have predicted what rates are going to be, are just trying their best to sell you a property. Predicting the rate is one of the impossible things to do. No one can ever for certain predict what rates is going to be at (x ) number of months.

To some buyers they will do mortgage rate history to compare what it’s going to be. Comparisons and analogy can a good thing but only to point. And for the most part they are not reliable because you trying to predict later what could possibly happen. To which you cannot do. You will need a mortgage payment tables to compare what is your amortization will be in the next number of months or years.

At the present time, a best fixed rate borrowing will be a good option. Getting the best fixed rate loan will entail some research on your part. There will be a lot of online searches to find the right lender for a fixed rate loans.

Overall, the most important question of how much mortgage can I afford should be answered. There are actually 2 basic types of determinant of how you can afford. These determining factors or formulas is called qualifying ratios. It is used to estimate the amount of money you should spend on your loan amortization payments in relation to your income and other expenditures. You can find many affordable programs both from the government and the regular lenders. They are more lenient and more compassionate to low income families.

The rule of thumb when calculating what much mortgage you can afford is about 29 to 33 percent of your gross income. For FHA loans, the ratio is 29 percent of gross monthly income. Your monthly housing cost include the interest, taxes insurance, mortgage principal, and private mortgage insurance if applicable. Keep in mind that these ratios may vary and each application is handled on a case to case basis.

Forget about your borrowing rate predictions, borrowing rate history, loan rate tables, or the best fixed rate mortgage available. Think and calculate how much mortgage you can afford before going into the other stuffs that you may need to do.
