A mortgage is the name of the loan that you take out to purchase a home. These loans are typically very large and can be complex to plan around due to various factors and variables.

When you use this tool you will get three very important pieces of information. First, you will see your payment amount based on your selected payment frequency. This is the amount that you will have to pay towards your loan with interest applied. Then, you will get to see your total paid towards the life of the loan. This number represents the true cost of the mortgage to you as it adds the total amount of interest you will be paying during the life of the loan.
