Mortgage rate change monthly payment estimate
When a fixed-rate mortgage is ending, a small rate change can make a noticeable difference to the monthly payment.
Use your remaining balance
The estimate is only useful if the balance and remaining term are close to your real mortgage statement.
Enter rises and cuts differently
Use a positive number for a rate rise, such as 1.25, and a negative number for a cut, such as -0.75.
Treat it as a planning estimate
Real lender figures can include fees, daily interest, overpayments and product-specific rounding. Use the result to understand scale, not as a final quote.
