This
interest-only mortgage calculator can help you calculate
your monthly interest payment on an interest-only
mortgage loan, given the amount of loan principal, annual
interest rate, and the length of loan in years. |

The principal on
an
interest-only mortgage loan will
not be amortized over the life of the loan, so
the borrower only pays the interest on the loan each month.
The borrower is required to pay off the entire amount of the loan at the end of
the loan term. Since the borrower only pays the interest on
the loan, the monthly payment is relatively low
compared to the monthly payment on a fully-amortized mortgage
loan of the same-size, because the monthly payment on a
fully-amortized mortgage loan not only includes the interest
payment, but also includes a portion of principal
repayment. On the other hand, since the
principal has never been paid down on an interest-only
mortgage loan, the borrower pays the interest accrued from the entire
loan each and every month. The total interest the borrower
pays over the life of the loan is much higher than that on a
fully-amortized mortgage loan of the same-size. |

The monthly
payment on $200,000, 5.25%, 15-year interest-only
mortgage loan is $875, which is much lower than that ($1607.76) on a
fully-amortized mortgage loan of the same size ($200,000,
5.25%, 15-year).
However, the total interest ($157,500) paid on this interest-only
mortgage loan is much higher than that ($89,395.98) on a
conventional fully-amortized mortgage loan of the same size. This
interest-only mortgage payment calculator is designed to
help you make a quick and easy calculation on your monthly
payment on an interest-only mortgage loan. |
