True Cost Mortgage Calculator: Compare up to
4 Mortgages
We use this calculator ourselves to compare mortgage schemes
against each other and determine which
mortgage is the cheapest. Now you can do the
same, simply enter the details of up to 4
mortgage schemes to compare costs. Enlarge the
graph and click on a node to see the actual cost
at that point.
How to use the calculator
- Mortgage: The total
amount currently outstanding on your
mortgage
- Interest Only: The
amount of your mortgage that is 'interest
only' - this part is usually repaid by
savings plan like an ISA or Endowment
- Term: The period in
years that the mortgage has left to run
(part years are OK, eg 22.5)
- Charges to set up the mortgage:
For example, survey fee and
arrangement fee. Tip: If you want to compare
your existing mortgage with a new mortgage
include any early redemption penalty in the
charges for the new mortgage.
- Initial Rate: this is usually
an introductory rate at which the mortgage is
fixed or benefits from a discount to the standard
variable rate.
- Initial Period: The
period in months that the Initial Rate will
last. For example, a 5 year fixed rate would
have an initial period of 60 months.
- SVR (Standard Variable Rate):
The lender's normal rate after the Initial
Rate has ended.
