Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the future value of the principal amount minus the future value of the annuity payments made.
Details: Calculating mortgage balance helps homeowners understand their remaining debt, plan for early repayments, assess equity position, and make informed financial decisions about their property.
Tips: Enter the principal amount in pounds, monthly interest rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.005 for 0.5%), number of months, and monthly payment amount in pounds. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is the monthly interest rate in decimal form?
A: Divide the annual percentage rate by 12 and then by 100. For example, 6% annual rate = 6/12/100 = 0.005 monthly rate.
Q2: Can this calculator handle variable interest rates?
A: No, this calculator assumes a fixed interest rate throughout the mortgage term. For variable rates, separate calculations are needed for each rate period.
Q3: What if my interest rate is 0%?
A: The formula handles zero interest rates by simplifying to principal minus total payments made.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation for UK mortgages?
A: This provides a standard mathematical calculation. Actual mortgage balances may include additional fees or charges specific to your mortgage agreement.
Q5: Can I use this for overpayment calculations?
A: Yes, you can calculate the balance after making additional payments by adjusting the payment amount or periods accordingly.
