Glossary

The original amount financed with your mortgage, do not confused this with the remaining balance or principal balance.

Annual interest rate for your mortgage.

The number of years over which you will repay this loan. The most common mortgage amortization periods are 20 years and 25 years.

The payment type determines the frequency of payments.

  • Monthly: 12 payments per year
  • Bi-monthly (semi-monthly): 24 payments per year
  • Bi-weekly: 26 payments per year
  • Weekly: 52 payments per year

Because there are more weeks than months in a year, accelerated weekly or bi-weekly payment schedules result in the equivalent of one extra full monthly payment each year. That extra amount goes straight to your principal, saving you thousands in interest and taking years off your mortgage.

Total number of years remaining on your original mortgage.

Amount that will be prepaid on your mortgage. This amount will be applied to the mortgage principal balance, based on the selected additional payment frequency.

The frequency of prepayment. The options are weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, yearly and one-time payment.

Choose how the report will display your payment schedule. Annually will summarize payments and balances by year. Monthly will show every payment for the entire term.

Your principal and interest payment (PI) per period.

Total of all monthly payments over the full term of the mortgage. This total payment amount assumes that there are no prepayments of principal.

Total of all interest paid over the full term of the mortgage. This total interest amount assumes that there are no prepayments of principal.
