Frequently asked questions

How is the payment calculated?

It uses the equal-payment (annuity) formula: payment = amount × rate / (1 − (1 + rate)^−term). The rate is the monthly rate.

I only know the annual rate, what should I do?

This tool asks for a monthly rate. Dividing the annual rate by 12 gives an approximate monthly rate. For an exact value use the monthly rate your lender states.

Why does my lender's offer differ?

Taxes, fees and insurance are not included here. Lenders add them to the payment, so the real payment can be higher. The result is a rough guide, and the lender's offer is what counts.
