Interest Calculator

Hi

Hope you are well

Trying to find a calculator that will tell me how much interest per year I will be paying on my possible new mortgage. '

Found one but not sure of the result. 50K based on a 4.74 yr tracker. 162 borrowed. 5 yr fix.

Kind regards

    you need to know your payments to get the right result because unless you just pay the interest the amount will be different.

    rough amounts for £162k 4.74% over 5 years based on term/payment

    I/O £640 £38,400
    40y £754 £37,550
    30y £844 £36,850

    £927.07 per month

    Just simple maths 162/100 x 4.74 is £7678.8

    Five year product so times by 5 is £38394 before Amy compound daily interest applied.

    That's a huge sum.

    Great stuff.

    Thought my calculation was the more relevant.

    In uk I believe the interest in a loan is paid before any repayment if the loan?

    Anyone other brits out like to confirm this?

    That calculator I gave you the link to shows how much interest is paid monthly. Forget the $ sign, just imagine it is a £ sign.

    It may not be 100% spot on, but whenever I have used it it has always been within a couple of pence.

    when there is a monthly payment that gets the wrong answer

    £927pm the interest will be £36,224

    post 2 has the calculator you need,

    Hi

    Great response guys but still very confused.

    It's a Uk mortgage where interest paid first?

    So what do you make the amount to be ove 5ys for term of the product, no over payments?

    It will be going to a court of law so needs to be correct.

    I was just thinking in my simple method. Forget the compound increase.

    Thank you
