Using the Mortgage Calculator

The mortgage calculator is typically quite simple to use. You will likely need to enter the following information:

• Loan amount: This is the total amount you are borrowing to purchase the home.
• Interest rate: This is the annual percentage rate (APR) you will be charged on the loan.
• Down payment: While not always required, some calculators allow you to include a down payment to see how it affects the monthly payment and total loan amount.
• Tenure (Months): monthly time period of the loan.

What is a Mortgage Calculator?

A mortgage calculator is a powerful financial tool that assists homebuyers in estimating their monthly mortgage payments. By inputting key factors such as loan amount, interest rate, and loan term, users can gain valuable insights into the costs associated with borrowing for a home purchase

What is a Mortgage?

Before we learn calculator, clarify what a mortgage is. A mortgage is a financial loan used to acquire real estate. When you take out a mortgage, a lender provides funds, and you agree to repay the loan over time, typically with interest. The property you’re purchasing serves as collateral, allowing the lender to seize it in case of default.

The EMI Formula

The heart of any mortgage calculator lies in the calculation of the Equated Monthly Installment (EMI). This fixed monthly payment covers both principal and interest.

The formula is as follows:

 EMI = \frac{{P \cdot r \cdot (1 + r)^n}}{{(1 + r)^n - 1}} 

Where:

• (EMI) represents the Equated Monthly Installment (the amount paid monthly).
• (P) is the principal loan amount (the initial borrowed amount).
• (r) is the monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12 months and converted to a decimal).
• (n) is the loan tenure in months (total number of monthly installments).

The formula considers compounding using ((1 + r)^n) and incorporates a discounting factor (\left( (1 + r)^n – 1 \right)). As you make payments, the outstanding balance gradually reduces, following the amortization principle.
