How do I calculate the total cost of my mortgage?

Answer by  Marcy88 (56)

Amortization schedules are based on five factors: principal borrowed, terms (length of your current mortage), amortization (number of years to pay it back, usually 25), interest rates, prepayment options. A rough formula is: (monthly mortgage payment) x ((number of annual payments) x (number of months in amortization)) = total repaid.

The total cost of your mortgage may be calculated by multiplying your monthly payment amount (less escrow) times the number of payments, this will give you the amount of principal and interest you are paying for your real estate.

The total lifetime cost of your mortgage is listed on what is called a "Truth In Lending Statement" which should have been given to you when you received the loan.
