✓ 15 YEAR — PROS
  • Pay significantly less interest over the life of the loan
  • Every extra dollar above interest goes directly toward principal
  • Own your home free and clear in 15 years
✗ 15 YEAR — CONS
  • Higher monthly payment — not ideal if budget is tight
  • Fixed payment with no option to pay less — this is the required minimum every month
✓ 30 YEAR — PROS
  • Lower required monthly payment gives you more breathing room
  • Option to pay extra toward principal each month without being required — enter both scenarios to see your accelerated payoff estimate
✗ 30 YEAR — CONS
  • More of each payment goes toward interest, especially in the early years
  • Longer repayment period — 30 years before the loan is paid off on the standard schedule

Mortgage Arcade is for educational and informational purposes only. Information in Mortgage Arcade is not a commitment to lend and should not be used as a qualifying tool. Mortgage Arcade is intended to be a user directed tool to help understand the math behind mortgages. Actual rates, terms and payment information can vary depending on credit and other qualifications. Contact a lending professional to get the most accurate quote.

Private mortgage insurance (if applicable) is an estimate. Actual mortgage insurance terms can vary widely depending on credit qualifications, down payment, and loan program. Contact a lending professional to get the most accurate quote.

*The APR listed is an estimate, and is calculated based on estimated origination fees of $1,525, estimated settlement fees for home purchases in Portland, Oregon, a 1% discount "buy down" fee, and 15 days of prepaid interest. Origination fees, discount fees, and prepaid items vary depending on each individual loan scenario. Contact a lending professional for the most accurate quote.

Future property taxes and future homeowners insurance estimates are based on the assumption that they increase at the same rate as the input annual home appreciation. Actual future taxes and insurance are based on outside factors, and these estimates should not be relied upon as actual future tax and insurance estimates. These are intended to show that taxes and insurance payments can also increase (even if your principal and interest payment is fixed).
