Mortgage Calculator According to Wikipedia

2010 August 31

What is a Mortgage Calculator?

According to Wikipedia, a web based free encyclopedia, a Mortgage Calculator is “an automated tool that enables the user to quickly determine the financial implications of changes in one or more variables in a mortgage financing arrangement. The major variables include: loan principal balance, periodic interest rate, compound interest, number of payments per year, total number of payments and the regular payment amount”.


A mortgage calculator can be a very practical tool when buying a house. It’s not your typical calculator where you can resolve some mathematical equations. A mortgage calculator can give quick and reliable answers to the most savvy buyer. With this tool you can compare interest rates, costs, payment schedules and even play with the numbers, meaning, you can find out how much your monthly payment would be when you do a down payment/principal ratio equation and change the length of the loan by adding more dollars to your monthly payment.

How does a Mortgage Calculator work?

The equation to come up with numbers is not simple. I can write about it and try to explain, I’ve tried to understand it myself, and believe me it’s not an easy task. Why complicate yourself trying to come up with the numbers you need to make a decision on whether you can or you cannot afford the house you like? A mortgage calculator does all the work for you. The input information is key to determine your monthly payment. Mortgage calculators vary by manufacturer but most of them have a common denominator: the information you will need to provide, to come up with the results you are looking for.

For example: you will need to have a loan amount, an interest rate, the length of the mortgage and the home value. Added information that is also necessary is the following: annual taxes, annual insurance and annual PMI, short for private mortgage insurance. Now all of this information is very relevant when using a Mortgage calculator but the information that is essential in this process is the interest rate and the length of the loan. When you change this two variables, meaning you input a lower interest rate, then you will get a lower monthly payment. How much lower? well, that really depends on the amount of the loan.

I hope this information about Mortgage calculators is useful for you. Now the next question is, do you as a home buyer really need to have one or is this a tool more oriented to Real Estate Agents and Loan officers. Personally, I think the latter.

How To Find A New Job Online

How you find a job now in 2008 is a lot different than it was 15 or so years ago. I still remember hand delivering my typed resume to different companies that I hoped would hire me. Today, that is almost unheard of as you need a computer and you need to know how to use it to go online and apply for jobs.


In today’s world of job hunting, you better know how to have your resume submitted to all the top job search sites. There are dozens of national and local job web sites that employers regularly use to recruit new employees and getting familiar with them is to your advantage.


My wife might be considered a pro at finding jobs online as this is her 5th job in the last 5 years. She seems to always be looking for another job either because she is forced to look due to downsizing, or she is hoping to find something that pays more. She has a variety of resumes that are all slightly different to send out for different types of jobs that she might be interested in. They are all on her computer and in the right formats for the job websites.


Employers look to hire through these online job sites and getting your resume on them is a must if you are serious about finding a job. You need to log onto these job websites and search for jobs that interest you. Once you find some you then need to submit your resume online to them and hope you get a call back.


Often times you may get a response from a recruiter first and not someone from the company itself. The recruiter’s job is to screen potential employees to see if they are indeed worth interviewing. If you pass that interview, which is almost always done over the phone, you will then move on to an interview with someone that actually works for the company you applied to.


That second job interview may also be done by phone and may also be done by someone that is just screening you to see if you are worthy to actually get a real in-person interview. It is not easy to get a job now, that’s for sure! If you are lucky to have survived and actually be granted an in-person job interview, it may take you one, two, or even three more interviews before you are actually offered a job. Of course, the higher the job level the more interviews you will probably have to contend with. If you are interviewing to be a night guard, you will probably have to have two interviews total at most.


All of this starts with the many job search sites that you need to familiarize yourself with. If you are a professional white collar or executive type, or hope to be one some day, you should make sure you know how to get your resume online and have it in the proper formats. You need to know how to look for, find, and apply to the different jobs that you will find at the job web sites. If you don’t know how to do all this then your chances of finding that dream job goes up in smoke. Everything is done online now days and those of us in the workforce have to adapt or get left behind.

Please head on over to my list of the top job search sites to see which ones may interest you. Many of these job web sites are free to submit your resume to.
