How does interest in a mortgage work?

Answer 1

the interest on a mortgage works as follows it either accumulates every X amounts of months (depends on your mortgage) for the example its monthly. If your annual mortage is 7 percent. Every month the add on (7/12) of a percent of what you owe back onto what you owe. Say you owe 100,000$ that would be 583$ added every month. so if you pay off 1000$ you still owe 99,583 and your next months interest will be 581$ and this will continue till you pay it all off
