How a UK mortgage payment is calculated
A mortgage is repaid on a repayment (annuity) basis — the monthly payment stays the same throughout the fixed-rate period, only the split between interest and capital changes. Early on, interest makes up most of the payment; over time the balance shifts toward capital repayment.
The payment M is M = P × i / (1 − (1 + i)⁻ⁿ), where P is the loan amount, i is the monthly rate (annual rate / 12) and n is the number of payments (years × 12).
Total interest is the difference between the sum of all payments and the original loan amount — a longer term lowers the monthly payment but significantly raises total interest paid.
UK lenders don't publish a single unified rate table — the calculator therefore shows market-average rates by fixed period (2-year and 5-year fixes).
Examples: loan amount → monthly payment (default rate, 30 years)
