Overview: This calculator calculates monthly payments for two fixed-rate mortgage loans and helps you determine which loan is the better deal. Monthly savings that you realize from different payment amounts are invested at a savings interest rate that you designate. A shorter loan term generates less mortgage interest, reducing your mortgage interest deduction. It also requires you to make larger monthly payments. However, a shorter loan term allows you to pay off the loan sooner and invest elsewhere.
