Mortgage Calculation
Mortgage calculation can help you foresee any snags that could occur in the future and also help you double check that the repayment schedule makes sense. Some borrowers have fallen prey to loan terms that cause negative amortization. Negative amortization occurs when the monthly payments of a loan do not adequately pay off the principal and accruing interest. In this case, the outstanding balance will increase instead of decreasing as you make your monthly payments. When this happens, it is generally with dishonest and, perhaps, questionable lenders. Though the odds are against this happening to you, it is a good idea to be aware of negative amortization and to take an interest in the make of your mortgages amortization.

Other basic but important terms to understand are:

• Principal is the amount borrowed (on which interest acts) which is repaid monthly
• Amortization is the process of repaying the amount borrowed through monthly payments of principal and interest.
• Negative amortization is when the monthly payment is not high to adequately pay the loan off. In this case interest builds too quickly and the principal grows instead of decreasing. This can occur because of lender scams or because of monthly payment caps.
• Equity is the value of your house left over after subtracting the total of your mortgage. If your house has a market value of $130,000 and a mortgage of $100,000, the equity is $30,000.
• An index is used to determine the rate on an adjustable rate loan. For some loans this rate may be the Prime Rate or the average rate of a one year Government Treasury Security.
