Real cost of mortgage loan calculator?
My parents are considering refinancing to a fixed rate mortgate. I need software that can take in the following info: quoted rate, initial fees including mortgate points, loan amount, loan period, tax deductions on mortgate interest. The software needs to output the following. Total payments minus tax break plotted against time.
If there is no such software, a webpage with step by step instructions to do the calculation would be helpful.
…if we enter the interest rate, loan amount and how much we pay each month. I know it will be paid off early, but I want a more specific time frame.
Thanks!
Chase.com has a mortgage calculator….

LikeDislikeLook for an amortization table calculator. That will give you the run down on payments/interest. The tax amount is the interest paid.
Typically though, the amount of interest paid on the loan will be equal to, if not greater than, the original amount of the loan. Add the closing costs to it as well and that is the total cost of the loan.
Ex: a $ 120k note financed at 6% over 30 years would have a P/I payment of 719.49. Total interest paid over 30 years, $ 139k.
Figure closing costs of 6k. Total cost for a 120k loan is $ 145k.
If you make $ 1k/mo payments, loan will be paid off in about 15.3 years and only pay about $ 64k in interest. Total cost: $ 70k. Savings of $ 75k. That is money in their pocket, not money that is taken off at the end of the year (which would at the 35% bracket, only save about $ 25k in taxes spread out OVER the additional 15 years).
Note: I am not a tax person so that number is an estimate.

LikeDislikeWasn’t sure if you would be paying the same amoutne extra each month or if it would vary. There are wonderful spreadsheet templates to help you with this. One that allows flexibility is here http://www.joecheng.com/amortization/ and can be downloaded. This will provide you a full schedule of your loan and you will be able to enter different extra payment amounts and see exactly how the life of your loan will be shortened. Microsoft offers a free template that is nice but it doesn’t allow for changing the amount of the extra payment and can be downloaded here http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HA010346401033.aspx
