This mortgage calculator helps you calculate monthly mortgage payments, including balloon payments, to better understand your financial commitment.

Balloon Payment Formula

Monthly Payment = (Loan Amount × Interest Rate / (1 – (1 + Interest Rate) ^ -Loan Term)) + (Balloon Payment / Loan Term)

Example Calculation

$300,000 loan, 5% interest rate, 30 years term, balloon payment of $50,000 → Monthly payment of $1,550.

Why It Matters

Understanding balloon payments can help you avoid a financial shock when the balloon payment becomes due at the end of the loan term.

Smart Strategy

Consider a balloon payment only if you are confident in your ability to pay off the lump sum at the end of the loan term.
