The loan is repaid in equal monthly installments, using the selected compounding convention: nominal annual rate ÷ 12 for monthly, or (1 + annual rate ÷ 2)^(1/6) − 1 for semi-annual (rates as decimals). Monthly housing cost adds entered annual costs ÷ 12 and monthly costs to principal and interest.
Country selection sets the currency, not local tax or lending rules. PMI, property taxes and insurance are not added automatically. Variable rates, interest-only loans, fees and lender eligibility require separate review.

Enter your mortgage interest rate, not an APRC that includes fees. The projection assumes the rate stays fixed for the full repayment period; a deal ending earlier or a later remortgage will change the result.
Fixed educational comparison in GBP, independent of the inputs above.
Hypothetical GBP example: property £300,000.00, deposit £60,000.00, loan £240,000.00, repayment period 25 years, annual housing costs £2,400.00 and additional monthly costs zero. Compare 4% and 6% nominal annual interest with monthly compounding. Rates stay constant for all 300 monthly payments; these are not lender quotes.
| Interest rate | Monthly loan payment | Monthly housing total | Total loan interest |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4% | £1,266.81 | £1,466.81 | £140,042.53 |
| 6% | £1,546.32 | £1,746.32 | £223,897.01 |
The higher rate adds £279.51 to the monthly budget and £83,854.48 in modeled interest. The £200.00 monthly share of annual costs is in the housing total, not in loan interest. Extending repayment can lower the monthly payment while increasing total interest; compare both figures.
Reproduce the example with monthly compounding, then shorten the repayment period to 20 years. Keep the amount and rate fixed so the difference reflects repayment time. Check which costs your lender collects and avoid adding the same charge twice.
