Mortgage Calculator  or  Mortgage Pre-qualifier

Want to prequalify for a mortgage? Our mortgage pre-qualification calculator shows how lenders see you. See how much you can afford based on yearly income, debts & other factors.

Basically, a mortgage is just a loan that is to be used to finance the purchase of property. The property itself is used as security to ensure repayment and the lender holds the title or deed to the property either directly or indirectly (depending on your jurisdiction and type of lender) until you have repaid the entire amount plus interest.
