Read principal and interest as only part of housing cost
Practical example
A longer loan term can lower the scheduled monthly principal-and-interest payment while increasing total interest. A small rate difference can matter greatly over hundreds of payments.
Interpreting the result
Compare payment, total interest and payoff term together. Stress-test a higher rate or lower income and keep taxes, insurance, association charges, maintenance and closing costs in a separate budget.
Limits and common mistakes
