How to calculate mortgage interest 

A simple way to calculate the interest on your mortgage is to:

1. First, find your outstanding mortgage balance and current mortgage interest rate
2. Then divide your current mortgage interest rate by 100, giving you a decimal figure.
3. Now multiply your outstanding mortgage amount by the decimal figure.
4. And finally, divide the number you get by 12.

The number you have calculated is the amount of interest you’ll pay on your next monthly mortgage repayment. 

For example, let’s say your outstanding mortgage loan amount is £150,000 and your interest rate is 5%.

To work out how much interest you’ll pay in the coming month, the calculation is:

• 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
• £150,000 x 0.05 = £7,500
• £7,500 ÷ 12 = £625. 

So your next monthly mortgage repayment will include £625 in mortgage interest. Note that if you have a capital repayment mortgage, where some of the original mortgage is also paid back each month, your overall monthly mortgage repayment will be higher to account for this too. 

With the alternative of an interest-only mortgage, you just pay the interest on your mortgage every month. However, you’ll need a plan in place to pay off your original loan amount when your mortgage ends.

Calculating how much interest you pay on a mortgage overall

Working out how much interest you’d pay on a mortgage in total is more difficult to calculate manually yourself. This is because your outstanding mortgage decreases every month with a typical capital repayment mortgage. It’s also unlikely that you’ll pay the same interest rate for the entire duration of your mortgage. 

However, a mortgage lender will still give you an estimate of the total interest payable on a given mortgage deal based on certain assumptions. Our mortgage interest calculator can give you a similar idea of how much interest you will pay.

Using the NerdWallet mortgage interest rate calculator 

Our mortgage interest rate calculator can be used to compare the interest and repayments payable across different interest rates and mortgage terms. It can also be used to get an idea of how mortgage repayments may change if interest rates were to rise or fall. 

The calculator is intended as a guide only and relies on certain assumptions. It is based on your mortgage rate remaining the same for the duration of your mortgage, which isn’t likely to happen. Always speak to your current mortgage lender for details of how interest rate changes might affect your mortgage repayments before comparing deals from other lenders or brokers.

Are mortgage interest rates calculated daily or monthly?

This depends on your lender and particular mortgage, so you’d need to check with them directly to confirm either way. A daily interest mortgage sees the amount of interest you’re charged recalculated each day based on your outstanding mortgage debt. So if you overpay on your mortgage, you may pay less interest due to your outstanding mortgage coming down quicker than if you have a monthly interest mortgage, where the interest you pay is calculated once a month. 

What happens if interest rates rise or fall?

If interest rates rise or fall and you have a fixed-rate mortgage deal, your mortgage repayments should stay the same for as long as you’re within your initial fixed-rate period. However, if you have a tracker mortgage or are paying your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR), there’s a good chance your monthly repayments will change if interest rates change.

Mortgage repayments on these variable rate mortgages can become more expensive if interest rates rise and cheaper if they fall – though interest rate fluctuations are not always passed on immediately to borrowers. Mortgage rates generally can be influenced by a wide range of factors, including changes in the Bank of England base rate or because of varying levels of competition between lenders.

What is a Mortgage in Principle?

Getting a mortgage in principle can give you an idea of whether a lender will offer you a mortgage and for how much. Having such an agreement doesn’t guarantee you’ll be offered a mortgage when you properly apply, but it can show estate agents and sellers you’re serious about buying.
