40 year mortgage calulator

During the subprime crisis, we have seen the emergence of numerous bizarre loan products. In general, the new loan products have been developed to help people into homes they could not normally afford. As people started on their Standard mortgage banks realized many of these loan products were not a good idea. During the subprime crisis, we have seen most of these new loan programs fall to the wayside. I think in most cases this is a good thing. Many This new loan products reduces the chance that individuals could equity in their houses by paying off principle. When difficult times arose for people who are in a difficult situation, because although they had made their payments on-year loan balance had not changed . The worst of the new loan products "" teaser rates "so that people from low payments for a few years before the mortgage rate, and their shot. It is a wonder why the banks are surprised by the number of Foreclosure.

The product, which seemed to survive the Subprime Meltdown, the loan of 40 years. I'm not a fan of the loan of 40 years. Mostly because the savings are minimal. Lets look at the current mortgage interest rates from Wells Fargo for 40 years, 30 years and 15 years loans.

Loan 40 years = 6.375

Loan 30 years = 5.75

Loan 15 years = 5.125

Now with a mortgage calculator, the mortgage payments on a 200k house.

Loan 40 years = 1153.14

Loan 30 years = 1167.14

Loan 15 years = 1594.64

While the difference between a 30-year loan and a 15-year-old is substantial, $ 441.50, the difference between a loan of 40 years and a 15-year loan is only $ 14 per month. A little bit of savings but is it really worth a whole extra 10 years to your mortgage. So more than 30 years, $ 14 dollars per month amounts to $ 5040th On the other hand, an additional 10 years mortgage payments come to $ 138,377. To view the figures another way, by a mere $ 2400 on the 30-year loan you get the same mortgage payment as you would on a loan of 40 years.

Of course every situation is different and in a small number of cases, a loan of 40 years would be justified. But in general, the loan of 40 years of additional years a person, the loan for a minimal advantage.
