Mortgage Calculator
Denver Mortgage Payment Calculator
Use our Denver mortgage payment calculator to estimate how the purchase price, down payment, interest rate and loan term could affect your monthly principal-and-interest payment.
A mortgage calculator is useful for early planning, comparing potential homes and testing different financing scenarios. The result is only an estimate, however. Your actual payment will depend on the selected mortgage program, approved interest rate, property expenses and final loan terms.

What Does the Calculator Estimate?
The basic calculation estimates principal and interest. Principal is the amount borrowed, while interest is the lender’s charge for providing the loan.
A complete monthly housing budget may also need to include:
If the calculator does not include these items, add them separately when developing your monthly budget.
Compare Different Down Payments
A larger down payment reduces the amount financed and may lower the monthly payment. It may also affect mortgage insurance requirements and available loan programs.
Do not use every dollar available for the down payment without considering closing costs, moving expenses, repairs and emergency reserves. A personalized mortgage review can help establish an appropriate balance between the down payment and remaining savings.
Compare 15-Year and 30-Year Terms
A 30-year mortgage normally offers a lower required principal-and-interest payment because repayment is spread over a longer period. A 15-year mortgage generally has a higher payment but may substantially reduce total interest.
The right term depends on income, other financial obligations and long-term goals. Use the calculator to compare the estimated payment and total projected interest under multiple terms.
Test Different Mortgage Rates
Even a modest interest-rate change can affect both the monthly payment and total cost of financing. Enter several possible rates to see how the results change.
Online rate advertisements may be based on specific credit, discount-point, down-payment and property assumptions. They do not guarantee that every applicant will receive the advertised terms.
Move From an Estimate to Personalized Numbers
A mortgage calculator cannot evaluate credit, income, employment, assets, debts or property eligibility. It also cannot determine the exact rate or loan program for which a borrower may qualify.
