Understanding Your Mortgage Calculator Results

Your total payment is displayed at the top. For more detailed results, look at the “Breakdown,” “Over time” and “Amortization” sections.

Breakdown

This section breaks down your monthly payment by the following:

Over Time

Over time is a view of how much of your monthly payment will go toward principal vs. interest throughout the years. More of your payment will be applied to your principal as you get closer to the end of your mortgage term.

Amortization

The amortization section shows your amortization schedule, a table listing all your scheduled payments throughout your loan term. Get a month-by-month look at your payment, remaining balance, principal and interest paid, and cumulative interest paid.

What Is a Mortgage?

A mortgage is a loan secured against real property, where the property—or home—is collateral. It’s a legal agreement between a lender and the borrower. A mortgage allows a homeowner to pay back the lender in installments over an agreed-upon time period (the term) and interest rate.

How Do I Get a Mortgage?

Getting a mortgage requires applying to a lender. But first, it’s a good idea to determine your budget and the amount you’ll be qualified to borrow. Check out the Pennymac Mortgage Blog for info to help save you money, time and peace of mind during the mortgage process.

How Much Is a Down Payment?

Your down payment amount depends on a few factors. A home down payment of 20% of the purchase price is typically recommended, since this will help you avoid paying private mortgage insurance. But first-time homebuyers may be able to put down less, while certain loan types, such as FHA loans, may have different down payment requirements.

What’s Included in My Mortgage Payment?

A mortgage payment typically includes your loan principal, interest, property taxes and homeowners insurance premium.
