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

Sorry 4.74 fixed buy to let in a foreign property.
Taking the developer abroad to court.
Need to know how much interest I would have paid over the product life, 5ys borrowing £162k with no overpayments.
Interest is compound daily,
Thank you0 -
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.0 -

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?0 -
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.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

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,0 -
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
