Mortgage Calculators

Use this mortgage hub when your question is about buying, remortgaging, or repaying a home loan. It helps you choose between payment, affordability, overpayment, and refinance calculators before you drill into a specific scenario.

Mortgage decisions rarely stop at one number. A realistic search flow usually moves from how much could I borrow, to what would the payment be, to whether overpaying or refinancing changes the cost enough to matter. This hub is structured around that sequence so you can choose the right calculator for the stage you are in rather than forcing one mortgage tool to answer every question.

Which mortgage calculator should I use?

Use the mortgage calculator when you already know the loan size and rate.

It is the right tool for monthly payment, total interest, and term comparison questions.

Use the affordability calculator before you decide on a property budget.

It is better when the unknown is the loan size you can support, not the payment on a loan you have already chosen.

Use the overpayment calculator when the loan already exists.

It shows whether extra monthly payments change payoff timing and total interest enough to justify the cash commitment.

Mortgage tool comparisons

Affordability is budget-first; payment calculators are loan-first.

If you do not know the loan amount yet, start with affordability. If you do know it, move straight to payment modelling.

Overpayment and refinance calculators answer different savings questions.

Overpayment assumes the same loan with extra cash. Refinance tools ask whether a new rate or term changes the result enough to switch.

Rent-vs-buy tools answer a housing choice, not a mortgage maths question.

Use them after you have a plausible mortgage scenario and want to compare it with the cost of renting.

Common questions

Mortgage Calculators questions.

How is a monthly mortgage payment calculated?

The standard formula divides the loan amount by the present value of an annuity at the monthly interest rate over the number of payment periods. In plain terms: a higher rate or shorter term raises the monthly payment, while a larger deposit or longer term lowers it. The mortgage calculator uses this formula and updates the result instantly as you change inputs.

Does the calculator include stamp duty and other buying costs?

The core mortgage calculator focuses on the loan repayment cost — principal and interest. It does not automatically include stamp duty, solicitor fees, or surveying costs. Add those separately to get a full picture of the total cash needed to complete a purchase.

Should I compare mortgages on monthly payment or total interest paid?

Both figures matter. A longer term lowers the monthly payment but significantly increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan. Compare the total cost column alongside the monthly figure to see the true price difference between deal options.
