About the Mortgage Rate Comparison Calculator

Even a small difference in mortgage interest rate can add up to a large difference in total cost over a 30-year loan. This calculator compares two rate offers side by side on the same loan amount and term.

Formula: Monthly Payment = P × [r(1+r)n] ÷ [(1+r)n − 1], calculated separately for each rate, then compared for both the monthly and lifetime interest difference.

When comparing real loan offers, remember to also factor in points, fees and closing costs, since a lower rate that comes with higher upfront fees isn't always the cheaper option overall.
