UK Mortgage Calculator Formula & How It Works
- Typical UK LTV: up to 95% (5% minimum deposit)
- Interest-only option: monthly payment = P × r only
- Help to Buy and Shared Ownership schemes reduce deposit
- Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is an additional purchase cost
UK mortgage calculations use the same amortization formula as US mortgages. Key differences: interest rates are quoted annually but compounded monthly. UK lenders typically require 5–25% deposit. Repayment mortgages repay capital over the term; interest-only mortgages repay only interest (capital due at end).
