Mortgage rate calculation?

How do I work out what my repayments will be once I get of the fixed rate deal which ends in a couple of months.
I'm paying 5.89% fixed which providing things stay the same,I'll be going on a variable of 3.5% .
Dunno if its just a case of dividing my monthly payment by 5.89,then multiplying by 3.5?:confused:
Thanx in advance.

    Is it repayment or intererst only?

  • If it is an interest only mortgage that would do the trick.

    If it is a repayment mortgage you would need to spill the beans and it could easily be worked out.

    We need to know:_

    What will be the outstanding balance when the change over takes place. How many more years and month will then be left before you are Mortgage Free.?

    You need to know how much the outstanding balance is. This calculator will tell you the repayments after you have entered the details...

  • If the outstanding balance is about £93000 (my maths, so could be well out), the new payment will be about £666. A devil mortgage!

  • How long was the fix?

    There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those that don't.
  • Monthly Payment based on your figures would be:-

    £662.30

    On a 15 year repayment mortgage with interest rate 3.50%
