Simple Mortgage Calculator
Calculate simple interest loan payments instantly. Enter loan amount, rate, and term to see monthly payment, total interest, and amount due with charts.
About This Calculator
The Simple Mortgage Calculator helps you estimate loan payments using the simple interest formula -- ideal for private loans, land loans, seller-financed deals, or short-term borrowing where both parties prefer straightforward interest calculations without compounding.
Unlike standard mortgage calculators that compute EMI using compound interest and full amortization schedules, this tool applies the simple interest formula: Interest = Principal x Rate x Time / 100. The total amount (principal + interest) is then divided equally across every month of the loan term to give you the monthly payment.
How to use
- Loan Amount -- Enter the total amount you plan to borrow.
- Annual Interest Rate (%) -- The yearly interest rate charged on the loan.
- Loan Term (years) -- The number of years over which the loan will be repaid.
The calculator instantly computes your monthly payment, total interest payable, and total amount due. View results as bar charts or a principal-vs-interest pie chart, and use the breakdown table for a clear line-by-line summary.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a simple mortgage and a standard mortgage?
A simple mortgage uses simple interest, which is calculated only on the original loan principal. A standard mortgage uses compound interest (EMI-based amortization), where interest accrues on the remaining balance each month. Simple interest loans typically have lower total interest costs for short-term borrowing.
How does the Simple Mortgage Calculator work?
Enter your loan amount, annual interest rate, and loan term in years. The calculator applies the simple interest formula: Interest = Principal x Rate x Time / 100. It then divides the total amount (principal + interest) by the total number of months to give your monthly payment.
Is this calculator free to use?
Yes, it is completely free to use with no registration or hidden charges. You can bookmark or share the URL with your inputs saved.
How is this different from the Mortgage Calculator or Home Loan Calculator?
