  • Compare Terms - Compare multiple terms for a given principal and rate. For example, see the difference between a 15 year and a 30 year mortgage.
  • Compare Rates - See how changes in your rate affect your payment for a given principal and term.
  • Mortgage APR - Find the APR on a fixed rate mortgage.
  • Balloon Payment - A balloon mortgage can reduce your monthly payments but may require refinancing at the end of the term.

  • Payment Range - Plug in a high and low figure for a payment and see how it translates to a mortgage.
  • Mortgage Payoff - Save thousands of dollars in interest by increasing your monthly mortgage payment.
  • Bi-weekly Payments - Discover how much in interest you will save if you make 1/2 of your mortgage payment every two weeks instead of making a full mortgage payment once a month.

Analysis For Renters

  • Tax Savings for Renters - Find out how much someone currently renting can save in taxes this year if they decide to purchase a home.

  • Renter Affordability - Based on your current rent, find out how much of a mortgage you could afford.

Refinancing
