Mortgage Calculator

How It Works

Because mortgage payments divide the cost of the mortgage into monthly chunks for the length of the loan, it can be hard to assess how much you'll end up paying in total for your home, and with interest, the amount you pay can be a lot more than you'd think. This calculator will help you see how much your home will actually cost you.

Enter the price of your home as the Home Price. Move the Down Payment slider to the down payment you paid or will pay for the home. Move the Loan Term slider to the length of your mortgage loan and the Interest Rate slider to the interest rate. 

If you'd like to adjust the amount you pay for home insurance, property tax, or change the PMI, select Advanced Options.

  • How does a tiered dividend rate structure work?

    Money market accounts typically offer tiered dividend rate structures. That means account balances above certain thresholds earn a higher rate. For example, Listerhill  Credit Union offers progressively higher APYs on amounts above $9,999, $49,999, and 99,999. It’s important to realize that only the portion of your deposit above this threshold will earn the higher rate, while the amount below will continue to earn dividends at the lower rate.

  • Where is the best place to open a money market account?

    Credit unions offer more generous dividends on average than other banking institutions, as well as fewer fees and charges. Credit Unions also offer more personal service to help you set up and manage your money market account.

  • What do you need to open a money market account?

    In order to open a Listerhill Credit Union Money Market Account, you need to be a member of Listerhill Credit Union. You’ll also need:

    • Proof of identity, such as drivers license, state ID card, or passport
    • An opening deposit of at least $15 to cover the low balance fee
  • How do credit union money market accounts work?

    Credit Union Money Market Accounts allow you to earn more money in dividend payments by offering progressively higher rates for amounts above $9,999, $49,999, and $99,999. Only the portion above the threshold earns the higher dividend rates. Because credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives owned by and run on behalf of their members, dividend rates are higher on average than those offered by commercial bank accounts.
