FIXED OR ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE?
If you are trying to determine whether a fixed-rate or an adjustable-rate loan is better for you, the calculator below can help. Enter the specifics for each loan. The calculator will compute the total interest amount that will be paid, the total loan amount as well as what the remaining balance is the conclusion of your expected time of residency.  Learn more about refinancing ARMs.
