Determining which mortgage term is right for you can be a challenge. With a 15 year mortgage you will pay significantly less interest, but only if you can afford the higher monthly payment. Use this calculator to compare these two mortgage terms, and let us help you decide which term is better for you.
Definitions
- Mortgage amount
- Original or expected balance for your mortgage.
- Interest rate
- Annual interest rate for your mortgage. Interest rates are generally lower for shorter term mortgages.
- Marginal tax rate
- This is your combined state and federal tax rate. This is used to calculate your potential income tax savings by deducting your mortgage interest.
- Monthly payment
- Monthly principal and interest payment (PI). Both 30 year and 15 year mortgages are shown.
- Total payments
- Total of all monthly payments over the full term of the mortgage. Both 30 year and 15 year mortgages are shown.
- Total interest
- Total of all interest paid over the full term of the mortgage. Both 30 year and 15 year mortgages are shown.

Buying Land and New Construction >Testing the Soil
Are you building a custom-designed home on hand picked acreage? An essential step is testing the soil, which will determine the composition of the ground that must provide a stable foundation for your new home.
The soil could have a combination of various conditions and characteristics. It might be fine, silt-laden soil that collapses when it absorbs excessive water, or soil with a high clay content that sucks up water and then expands under a building, causing it to buckle or shift. Such soil is easy to excavate but unstable to build on. It must be replaced in compacted layers until it achieves suitable density to provide a stable foundation for the house.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, your land might sit on a layer of hard rock, which is wonderfully stable, but extremely hard to penetrate. Excavation costs will be higher if your builder has to bring in heavy equipment to dig out the rock.
A professional soil report will help your builder determine the best approach to engineering your site.
