How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Current Mortgage Balance (e.g. 280000 in ), Interest Rate (e.g. 6.5 in %), Remaining Term (e.g. 25 in years), and Extra Monthly Payment (e.g. 300 in /month). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.
The Formula
Extra Monthly Payment = Scheduled Payment + Extra Principal
New Payoff Time = Log[New Payment / (New Payment - Principal × r)] / Log(1 + r)
Total Interest Saved = Base Scheduled Interest - Amortized Extra Payment Interest

Understanding Your Result
Lenders use two DTI ratios: front-end (housing costs ÷ gross income) must be below 28% for conventional loans; back-end (all debts ÷ gross income) must be below 43%. Down payment below 20% triggers PMI (0.5–1.5% of loan balance annually). 20% down is the break-even point where PMI savings offset the reduced loan balance benefit. Every 1% rise in mortgage rate reduces buying power by approximately 10% for the same monthly payment.
💡 Real Estate: Financial & Legal Considerations
- Real estate calculations assume stable market conditions. Actual values, tax rates, and income are volatile — recalculate quarterly for active decisions.
- The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) provides free homebuyer resources. Obtain a professional appraisal before any major transaction.
- Factor all carrying costs: property taxes (avg 1.1% nationally), insurance (0.5–1%), HOA, maintenance (1–2% of value annually), and vacancy rates.
- Mortgage qualification requires reviewing DTI ratio, credit score (min 620 for conventional, 580 for FHA), employment history, and liquid reserves.
- Closing costs typically range 2–5% of the purchase price in the US. Budget for these separately — they are not included in down payment calculations.
- The 28/36 qualifying rule: housing costs should not exceed 28% of gross income; total debt should not exceed 36% for conservative underwriting.
- Investment property returns must account for management fees (8–12%), turnover costs, and capital expenditure reserves — not just gross rent.
- Real estate is illiquid. Always maintain separate liquid emergency reserves independent of any property investment or equity.
