Definitions
Mortgage amount
Original or expected balance for your mortgage.
Interest rate
Annual interest rate for this mortgage.
Amortization period
The number of years over which you will repay this loan. The
most common mortgage amortization periods are 20 years and
25 years.
Mortgage payment
Your principal and interest payment (PI) per period.
Accelerated weekly and bi-weekly payments
Accelerated weekly and accelerated bi-weekly payment options
are calculated by taking a monthly payment schedule and assuming
only four weeks in a month. We calculate an accelerated weekly
payment, for example, by taking your normal monthly payment
and dividing it by four. Since you pay 52 weekly payments,
by the end of a year you have paid the equivalent of one extra
monthly payment. This additional amount accelerates your loan
payoff by going directly against your loan's principal. The
effect can save you thousands in interest and take years off
of your mortgage.
The accelerated bi-weekly payment is calculated by dividing
your monthly payment by two. You then make 26 bi-weekly payments.
Just like the accelerated weekly payments you are in effect
paying an additional monthly payment per year.
Total payments
Total of all monthly payments over the full term of the mortgage.
This total payment amount assumes that there are no prepayments
of principal.
Total interest
Total of all interest paid over the full term of the mortgage.
This total interest amount assumes that there are no prepayments
of principal.
Prepayment type
The frequency of prepayment. The options are none, monthly,
yearly and a one time payment.
Prepayment amount
Amount that will be prepaid on your mortgage. This amount
will be applied to the mortgage principal balance, based on
the prepayment type.
Start with payment
This is the payment number that your prepayments will begin
with. For a one time payment, this is the payment number that
the single prepayment will be included in. All prepayments
of principal are assumed to be received by your lender in
time to be included in the following month's interest calculation.
Savings
Total amount of interest you will save by prepaying your mortgage.
