    Depends , interest rate and term both have an impact.
  • So ours is a 30 year term, fixed at 2.3% for the next 5 years.
  • If you search for amortization calculators on google you will find websites were you can enter your mortgage details and it will show you the monthly breakdown of payments. I think this will give you the information you want.
  • Thanks for that. Worked brilliantly!

    Whatsthecost website will show how much you will clear in 5 years.
    You can also see how much your mortgage would be Interested only and repayment.
