What is a Mortgage?

A mortgage is a type of loan used to purchase real estate, such as a house or apartment. The borrower agrees to repay the loan in fixed monthly payments over a specified period.

Each payment includes two main components:

Principal: The amount borrowed
Interest: The cost of borrowing money

In the early years of a mortgage, a larger portion of the payment goes toward interest. Over time, more of your payment is applied to reducing the principal balance.

Mortgages make it possible to buy property without paying the full amount upfront, allowing long-term repayment.

Example Calculation

Let’s understand with a simple example:

If you take a mortgage loan of $100,000 at an annual interest rate of 8% for 20 years, your monthly payment will be calculated using the standard formula.

Based on these values, your monthly mortgage payment will remain fixed (in most cases), helping you plan your long-term finances effectively.
