MORTGAGE PAYMENT BREAKDOWN

What’s in your monthly payment?

Your monthly mortgage payment includes amounts paid towards principal, interest and escrow. Over time, more of your payment goes towards principal and less towards interest. Principal is the amount of loan paid over the term. Interest is the borrowing cost. Escrow includes taxes and insurance, if applicable.

Could my monthly mortgage payment increase?

Your payment could increase for reasons such as escrow amount changes. Learn more about factors that can impact your mortgage payment.

PAYING EXTRA TO SAVE LONG-TERM

Extra payments for quicker payoffs

To pay off your mortgage more quickly, you can always pay more than you owe each month. Those extra payments will help lower the loan balance and decrease the total cost of interest, which is explained in this article about amortization. Visit our repayment calculator to determine how you can save money by paying off your mortgage early.

Example of statement
Both paper and online monthly statements display due dates and cutoff dates.

HOW TO AVOID LATE FEES

What to know about payment due dates

Your due date was set at the time of closing, and it can’t be changed afterwards. You can find the due date on your online account dashboard or monthly statements.

Payments received after the due date will be flagged as late. Payments received after the cutoff date will be charged a late fee, as shown in your monthly statement.

If payment is more than 30 days late, consider mortgage assistance.
