Understanding Interest-Only Mortgage Loans:

Interest-only payment options are commonly offered for both fixed-rate and variable-rate loans and mortgages. This unique feature allows borrowers to make payments that cover only the interest component for a specified number of years, excluding any principal repayment. The primary advantage is a reduced initial payment, providing financial flexibility during the initial years of the loan.

During the interest-only period, borrowers often have the flexibility to make extra payments towards the principal without incurring penalty fees. However, it is crucial to understand that at the end of this interest-only (IO) period, a recalibration of the monthly payment occurs based on the remaining loan term and the outstanding balance.

Fortunately, with the AceDigi Interest-Only Loan Calculator, you don’t need to navigate these intricate calculations manually. The spreadsheet automates the process, empowering users to make informed decisions about their loan structures.
