Detailed Explanation

Remaining Mortgage Balance calculates how much you still owe on the loan right now, based on the original loan amount, interest rate, loan term, and the actual number of monthly payments made since the purchase date.\n\nUnlike the fixed Year 5 or Year 10 remaining balance calculations, this metric uses your real purchase date to determine how many payments have been made and computes the exact outstanding principal at this point in the amortization schedule. Early in the loan, most of each payment goes to interest and the balance drops slowly. As the loan matures, more goes to principal and the balance decreases faster.
