Adjustable rate mortgages can provide attractive interest rates, but your payment is not fixed. This calculator helps you to determine what your adjustable mortgage payments may be.
Definitions
Mortgage amount
Original or expected balance for your mortgage.
Starting interest rate
Initial annual interest rate for this mortgage.
Term in years
The number of years over which you will repay this loan. The most common mortgage terms are 15 years and 30 years.
Interest rate cap
This is the highest interest rate allowed by your mortgage. Your actual interest rate will not be adjusted above this rate.
Expected adjustment
The amount you believe that your mortgage's interest rate will change. This amount will be added to or subtracted from your interest rate.
Months between adjustments
The number of payment periods between potential adjustments to your interest rate. The most common is 12 months, which means your payment could change at most once per year.
Starting monthly payment
Monthly principal and interest payment (PI) based on your beginning balance and starting interest rate.
Total payments
Total of all monthly payments over the full term of the mortgage. This total payment amount assumes that there are no prepayments of principal.

Some homeowners try to sell their own home, believing that they are as capable as a real estate agent of handling a property transaction. But according to statistics, only 8 to 10 percent of "FSBO" transactions actually close, and many end up in litigation.
If you choose to buy a home with a realtor's help, you substantially reduce your risk. Buying real estate involves more legal and financial repercussions than most people realize. Realtors are licensed and highly regulated professionals who are equipped to deal with the complex issues that arise. For example, if the FSBO seller holds your earnest money deposit, how will you as the buyer go about getting it back if the deal does not close? What will you do if the seller refuses to correct defects in the home or treat a termite infestation? Who pays for re-wiring the house if the electrical system does not meet current codes? What if there are liens against the property?
As a buyer, you have rights written into the sales contract. An experienced agent knows how to protect those rights while negotiating the best price and terms on your behalf.
