Estimate Your Monthly Mortgage Repayments

Understanding what a mortgage could cost each month can help you plan your budget before buying a property or changing your existing mortgage. Our Mortgage Repayment Calculator provides an estimate based on the amount you want to borrow, the interest rate, mortgage term and repayment method you select. You can adjust the figures to compare different scenarios and see how changes may affect your monthly payment.

Why Use This Calculator?

Plan your repayments before you apply

Estimate your monthly mortgage payment.

Compare different mortgage amounts.

Support your monthly budgeting.

The calculator does not assess your affordability, confirm how much you can borrow or guarantee mortgage approval.

How It Works

How the Calculator Works

Enter the following information to receive an estimated monthly mortgage payment.

Enter the amount you expect to borrow rather than the full property value.

For example, if you are purchasing a £300,000 property with a £60,000 deposit, the required mortgage would be £240,000.

If you are remortgaging, enter the amount you expect to borrow under the new mortgage.

Key Factors

What can affect your mortgage repayments?

Interest rate

A higher interest rate normally increases both the monthly payment and the total interest charged.

Mortgage amount

Borrowing more will generally increase your monthly repayments and total borrowing cost.

Mortgage term

A longer term can reduce the monthly payment but usually increases the total interest paid.

Repayment method

An interest-only mortgage normally has lower monthly payments than a repayment mortgage, but it does not reduce the original balance.

Mortgage fees

If a product or arrangement fee is added to the mortgage, your balance and monthly repayment may increase. Interest may also be charged on the fee.

Mortgage Term

How the Mortgage Term Affects Repayments

The term can significantly affect both the monthly payment and the total mortgage cost.

Using a £200,000 repayment mortgage at an assumed interest rate of 4.50%:

Mortgage termEstimated monthly repayment
20 years
£1,265
25 years
£1,112
30 years
£1,013
35 years
£947

A longer term reduces the estimated monthly payment, but interest is charged for longer. This will normally increase the total amount paid overall. The term available may depend on your age, circumstances, expected retirement date and the lender's criteria.

Worked Example

Worked Example

The following example is for illustration only.

Mortgage amount£200,000
Interest rate4.50%
Mortgage term25 years
Repayment methodRepayment
Estimated monthly repaymentApproximately £1,112
Estimated total repaid over 25 yearsApproximately £333,500
Estimated total interestApproximately £133,500

This example assumes that the interest rate remains at 4.50% throughout the full mortgage term and that every required payment is made.

In practice, mortgage rates and repayments may change when an initial mortgage deal ends or if the rate is variable.

Repayment Methods

Repayment or Interest-Only?

Capital + interest

Repayment Mortgage

A repayment mortgage is designed to repay both the capital and interest over the agreed term.

Provided all required payments are made, the mortgage should be repaid in full by the end of the term.

Interest only

Interest-Only Mortgage

With an interest-only mortgage, the monthly payment generally covers only the interest charged.

Example at 4.50% on £200,000£750 per monthOriginal £200,000 remains outstanding at the end of the term.

You will need a credible repayment strategy to repay the capital. Relying on the future sale of a property or the performance of an investment involves risk because values can fall as well as rise.

Costs Not Included

Costs Not Included in the Calculator

The calculator estimates mortgage repayments but may not include other costs associated with buying a property or arranging a mortgage.

You may also need to budget for:

  • Mortgage product or arrangement fees.
  • Property valuation and survey costs.
  • Solicitor and conveyancing fees.
  • Stamp Duty Land Tax or the relevant property transaction tax.
  • Broker fees, where applicable.
  • Buildings insurance.
  • Removal costs.
  • Service charges and ground rent, where applicable.
  • Maintenance and repairs.
  • Early repayment charges.

Considering these expenses alongside your estimated repayment can provide a more complete view of the potential cost.

Estimate Differences

Why Your Actual Repayment May Differ

The calculator uses the information entered to produce an estimate. Your actual mortgage payment may differ because of:

  • The interest rate offered.
  • The mortgage product selected.
  • Fees added to the mortgage.
  • Changes in interest rates over time.
  • The lender's interest calculation and rounding method.
  • Overpayments or changes to the mortgage term.
  • Additional borrowing.
  • A change in repayment method.

Your lender will confirm the actual payments in the mortgage illustration and formal mortgage offer.

Whole Cost

Your Monthly Repayment Is Not the Whole Story

The mortgage with the lowest monthly payment is not necessarily the most suitable or lowest-cost option.

When comparing mortgage products, consider:

  • Product and arrangement fees.
  • The initial interest rate period.
  • The rate payable after the initial period.
  • Early repayment charges.
  • Overpayment options.
  • Incentives such as cashback or a free valuation.
  • The total cost during the initial mortgage period.
  • The overall cost of borrowing.

Extending the mortgage term can reduce the monthly payment, but it may significantly increase the amount of interest paid overall.
