When it comes to mortgages, interest plays a major role in the total cost of homeownership.

Most traditional mortgages use simple interest, meaning interest is calculated only on the amount you borrowed (the principal). However, some loans can involve compound interest, meaning interest accrues on both the principal and previously unpaid interest.

Why does this matter? Knowing how interest is calculated can help you make informed financial decisions, manage payments effectively, and potentially save money in the long run.

Want to understand how interest affects your mortgage? Give me a call and let’s break it down together!
