Mortgage Comparison FAQs
What should I know before using this calculator?
This calculator compares two mortgage options based on the loan amount, interest rate, and term you enter for each. For the most realistic comparison, use rates from a recent quote or pre-approval, and keep the loan amount the same so the difference comes down to rate and term.
Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage?
Choosing between a 15-year and 30-year mortgage comes down to what matters most to your budget right now. A 15-year term usually means a higher monthly payment and far less interest, while a 30-year term keeps your payment lower and leaves more breathing room each month.
Can I use this calculator to compare a refinance?
You can use this calculator to compare your current mortgage with a refinance by entering both rates and terms. CCCU refinance options can help you lower your monthly payment, lock in a better rate, or shorten your term.
