The loan is repaid when you sell your home or move out. This can be a great option for supplementing retirement income, covering healthcare costs, or helping family members financially.</p> https://philippealexandre.ca/refinance/refinance-calculators/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://philippealexandre.ca/refinance/refinance-calculators/ <p>Use this calculator to estimate your payments after refinancing.</p> <div class="calculator-widget" id="mortgage-calc"> <h3>Mortgage Payment Calculator</h3> <div class="calc-form"> <div class="calc-group"> <label for="calc-amount">Mortgage Amount ($)</label> <input type="number" id="calc-amount" value="350000" min="10000" step="5000"> </div> <div class="calc-group"> <label for="calc-rate">Interest Rate (%)</label> <input type="number" id="calc-rate" value="4.5" min="0.1" max="15" step="0.05"> </div> <div class="calc-group"> <label for="calc-amort">Amortization (years)</label> <select id="calc-amort"> <option value="25" selected>25</option> <option value="20">20</option> <option value="15">15</option> <option value="10">10</option> <option value="30">30</option> </select> </div> <div class="calc-group"> <label for="calc-freq">Payment Frequency</label> <select id="calc-freq"> <option value="12">Monthly</option> <option value="26">Bi-weekly</option> <option value="52">Weekly</option> </select> </div> <button class="btn btn-primary" onclick="calculateMortgage()">Calculate</button> </div> <div class="calc-result" id="calc-result" style="display:none"> <span class="calc-label">Your Payment:</span> <span class="calc-payment" id="calc-payment"></span> </div> </div> <script> function calculateMortgage(){ const P=parseFloat(document.getElementById('calc-amount').value); const annual=parseFloat(document.getElementById('calc-rate').value)/100; const n=parseInt(document.getElementById('calc-amort').value); const freq=parseInt(document.getElementById('calc-freq').value); const semi=Math.pow(1+annual/2,2); const r=Math.pow(semi,1/freq)-1; const total=n*freq; const payment=P*(r*Math.pow(1+r,total))/(Math.pow(1+r,total)-1); document.getElementById('calc-payment').textContent='$'+payment.toFixed(2); document.getElementById('calc-result').style.display='flex'; } document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',calculateMortgage); </script> <p><em>This calculator provides estimates only.
