  • Rates

    The rates you enter stay fixed. The offer is not a live quote or approval.

    To confirm
  • Interest

    Annual interest uses the ARI schedule. Monthly payments use a separate monthly time step.

    Same as A.R.I.
  • Switching costs

    Stated upfront costs are paid in cash. Annual fees are included in full-term costs.

    To confirm
  • Equity release

    Cash-out is extra borrowing. Mortgage insurance is indicative; lender approval is not assumed.

    Same as A.R.I.
  • Break-even

    Annual break-even is the first full year of interest and fee savings. Monthly break-even uses the pure rate effect only.

    To confirm
  • Interest only

    The later principal and interest payment assumes an unchanged balance and rate.
