How do I calculate my mortgage payment amount?
Everyone’s mortgage payment will be different. Several things affect your mortgage payment amount, such as:
- The price you pay for your home
- The interest rate you pay on your mortgage
- How often you make payments, from weekly to monthly
- If the interest rate is fixed or variable
- The length of time over which you agree to repay your mortgage, which is known as your mortgage amortization period
