– Why are my mortgage payments mostly interest?

644 viewsOther

My monthly mortgage payment is GBP965. Of that, monthly interest varies from GBP714 to GBP770. The annual interest rate 5.64% and the remaining term is just under 27 years, five years fixed.

Clearly the interest is currently much more than 5.64%. What’s the calculation here?

Each month your interest is 5.64% on the remaining balance of your mortgage. It will decrease as you pat down the principal over time.
