Why You Should Use A Mortgage
Calculator To Understand The Mortgage Amortization Process
by Tim Henry
Mortgage amortization is often a mystery to the consumer. After all, they
oftentimes watch as loan officers whip out their calculators and spill out
complicated numbers in record time.
But most consumers, unless they work in an industry related to the home buying
and mortgage lending process, do not understand how loans are amortized. Thats
okay--as a consumer its really not necessary for you to fully understand the
amortization process and how your monthly mortgage payments are determined.
However, it is important, if you are seeking a home mortgage loan or if you
already hold one, to have a general understanding of mortgage amortization and
how to figure monthly payments.
In short, by having a general comprehension of mortgage amortization, you will
be a more informed mortgage consumer.
What Does It Do?
When a mortgage loan is amortized, the amortization schedule is what will
calculate the amount of your monthly mortgage payment. A normal, or standard,
mortgage amortization will allow for the monthly mortgage payment to cover all
interest accrued on the loan in the last thirty days since your last payment as
well as a portion to be applied to the original principal balance of the home
mortgage loan.
By following the mortgage amortization schedule, the borrower is paying off the
balance of the mortgage loan principal, a little bit each month, and building
equity into his home. It is not necessary for the mortgage consumer to know the
mathematical formulas that are used in mortgage amortization in order to be able
to answer common mortgage questions.
What is important is that you have a general understanding of mortgage
amortization; that you understand the ways that you can control or alter your
mortgage amortization - allowing you to pay less for your home, and that you
know what questions can be answered using a mortgage amortization schedule or a
mortgage calculator.
By playing with a mortgage calculator, also sometimes called mortgage
amortization calculator or mortgage rate calculator, the mortgage amortization
process will start to become clearer to you.
A mortgage calculator takes vague mathematical formulas and concepts and
illustrates them in ways that are easier for the consumer to understand.
A mortgage amortization calculator will also show the mortgage holder just how
much money he or she can save over the life of the loan by paying just a little
bit extra on the principal of the loan. Whether you make a large sump sum
payment onto your mortgage principal, or add a small amount to each monthly
payment, by playing with a mortgage calculator you will clearly see that it can
save you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the
mortgage. The reality is that if all mortgage holders spent time with a mortgage
calculator, every one would find a way to pay a little extra on their home
mortgage loan!
If you have never used a mortgage calculator, or it has been awhile since you
have, you might be surprised at all that you can learn. Go to Google, or any
internet search engine, and run a search for mortgage calculator. You will find
that many sites in the business of initiating home mortgage loans have digital
versions of mortgage calculators hosted at their site free for your use.
