Adjustable Rate Mortgage Calculator

Adjustable rate mortgages can provide attractive interest rates, but your payment is not fixed. This calculator helps you to determine what your adjustable mortgage payments may be.

Definitions

Mortgage amount

Original or expected balance for your mortgage.

Starting interest rate

Initial annual interest rate for this mortgage.

Term in years

The number of years over which you will repay this loan. The most common mortgage terms are 15 years and 30 years.

Interest rate cap

This is the highest interest rate allowed by your mortgage. Your actual interest rate will not be adjusted above this rate.

Expected adjustment

The amount you believe that your mortgage's interest rate will change. This amount will be added to or subtracted from your interest rate.

Months between adjustments

The number of payment periods between potential adjustments to your interest rate. The most common is 12 months, which means your payment could change at most once per year.

Starting monthly payment

Monthly principal and interest payment (PI) based on your beginning balance and starting interest rate.

Total payments

Total of all monthly payments over the full term of the mortgage. This total payment amount assumes that there are no prepayments of principal.

Making An Offer >Low Offers You have found the perfect house with everything you wanted--and then some--but the price is more than you want to pay. You decide to go for it anyway, and ask the agent to submit what real estate agents call a "low ball" offer. Low ball offers sometimes work. If the market is fluctuating and the sellers are anxious, they may just accept it. They may be willing to negotiate if they have listed the house at a higher price than is reasonable. Most sellers are open to offers, but they won't give their house away, especially if the asking price is in line with recent sales of similar homes. What do you have to lose by making a low offer? If the seller yells and screams, the agent will be the focus of his wrath -- and we don't take it personally. If you really want the house, however, a very low initial offer may irritate the seller to the point that he won't consider a better offer, if you decide to submit one. Design your strategy on the basis of how badly you want the house. See All Tips In The "Making An Offer" Category > See Complete Library Of Hundreds Of Tips In 30+ Categories >
