Analyzing down payment impact on monthly payments
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator? Uses standard amortization formulas to provide highly accurate estimates. Actual payments may vary slightly based on lender-specific fees and terms.
What is APR? APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the yearly interest rate charged on your loan. It includes the interest rate plus any additional fees or costs associated with the loan.
Should I make a larger down payment? A larger down payment reduces your loan amount, resulting in lower monthly payments and less interest paid over the life of the loan.
What loan term should I choose? Shorter loan terms mean higher monthly payments but less total interest paid. Longer terms have lower monthly payments but cost more in total interest.
