Mortgage Interest Calculator

Real Estate & Mortgage

See exactly how much total interest you’ll pay over the life of a mortgage.

Changing the display currency only changes the symbol shown — amounts aren't converted, since this tool doesn't use live exchange rates.

Total interest over the loan

$0

Monthly payment: $0

Total paid: $0

That's of the loan amount paid in interest.

How this is calculated

Uses the standard fixed-rate amortization formula M = P·r(1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1) to calculate the monthly payment and full payment-by-payment schedule. Total interest is the sum of the interest portion of every payment across the full term.

Frequently asked questions

How can I reduce total interest paid?
A larger down payment, shorter term, lower rate (via refinancing or improving credit), or extra principal payments all reduce total interest — see the Loans & Debt cluster’s Extra Payment Calculator for that last option.
