Where does each payment go?
The first years of a mortgage are almost entirely interest, and almost nobody is shown that plainly. Here is every payment, in both views, with the running total beside it.
Illustrative only. Every figure is computed in your browser from what you type. Nothing here is a quote, an offer of credit, an APR or a rate lock, and no result is stored or sent anywhere.

Balance, and what you have paid
The schedule

The thing this table is for
- Self-employed incomeWhat does a lender think you earn?
- Monthly paymentWhat does the whole payment come to?
- AffordabilityWhat price can you actually carry?
- Extra paymentWhat does paying extra actually buy?
- Refinance break-evenWhen does a refinance pay for itself?
- Rent vs buyOver how long does buying win?
- DSCRDoes the rent cover the payment?
