How to use Go to Appearance > Widgets and add the "Mortgage Calculator" widget, or paste the shortcode into any post or page: [mortgage_calculator] You can change the title and the field labels in the shortcode: [mortgage_calculator title="Monthly Mortgage Payments" mc_total_amount_label="Home price" mc_down_payment_label="Down payment" mc_interest_rate_label="Interest rate" mc_mortgage_period_label="Years"] Set the currency, number format and default values under Settings > Mortgage Calculator. Calculation method The monthly payment is the standard fixed-rate amortization payment. The loan amount is the total amount minus the down payment, the monthly rate is the annual interest rate divided by 12, and the number of payments is the mortgage period in years times 12. With a zero interest rate the loan amount is simply divided by the number of payments. The result covers principal and interest only. Who it is for Real-estate agents, home-buying blogs, mortgage brokers and property sites that want a clean payment calculator without a heavy plugin.
