What are the monthly payments on a £250,000 mortgage?
At a 4% fixed interest rate, your monthly mortgage payment on a 30-year mortgage might total £1,193.54 a month, while a 15-year mortgage might cost £1,849.22 a month.
Note that your monthly mortgage payments will vary depending on your interest rate, taxes and PMI, among related fees.
What is the total interest on a £250,000 mortgage?
On a 30-year mortgage with a 4% fixed interest rate, you’ll pay £179,673.77 in interest over the life of your loan. That’s about two-thirds of what you borrowed in interest.
If you instead opt for a 15-year mortgage, you’ll pay £82,859.57 in interest over the life of your loan – or about 46% of the interest you’d pay on a 30-year mortgage.
What is the total amount payable?
When you take out a mortgage, you agree to pay the principal and interest over the life of the loan. Your interest rate is applied to your balance, and as you pay down your balance, the amount you pay in interest changes.
This means that at the beginning of your loan, a big percentage of your payment is applied to interest. With each subsequent payment, you pay more toward your balance.

Representative example
A mortgage of £225,134 payable over 24 years, initially on a fixed rate until 30/09/26 at 4.88% and then on a variable rate of 6.99% for the remaining 22 years would require 26 payments of £1328.29 followed by 262 payments of £1,593.54. The total amount payable would be £453,042 made up of the loan amount plus interest (£226,909) and fees (£999). The overall cost for comparison is 6.8% APRC representative.
