Repayment Calculator
This calculator takes a loan amount (derived from the
purchase price and deposit) and calculates the monthly
repayments over a set term or the whole life of the
mortgage. It also allows you to caculate the overall
APR for the loan and the Internal Rate of Return for
the assumed life of the mortgage.
Both the Internal Rate of Return and the Annual Percentage
Rate give an annual interest rate which accurately reflects
every payment made on the loan, including fees and costs.
The main difference between APR and the Internal Rate
of Return, is that APR is always measured over the full
life of a loan term, whereas the Internal Rate of Return
allows you to compare the products over any length of
time. This is more suitable when you consider that the
average life of a mortgage is only 6 or 7 years.
