Enter your credit cards, installment loans and the mortgages you wish to consolidate by clicking on the "Enter Data" button for each category. Then change the consolidated mortgage loan amount, term or rate to create a loan that will work within your budget.

Definitions

Mortgage amount
Original or expected balance for your mortgage. Taxpayers can deduct the interest paid on first and second mortgages up to $1,000,000 in mortgage debt (the limit is $500,000 if married and filing separately). Any interest paid on first or second mortgages over this amount is not tax deductible. Home equity loans are limited to $100,000 or the amount of equity you have in your home. Our calculator limits your interest deduction to the interest payment that would be paid on a $1,000,000 mortgage. Please note that in addition to the $1,000,000 mortgage debt limit; this calculator assumes that your itemized deductions will exceed the standard deduction for your income tax filing status. If your itemized deductions don't exceed your standard deduction, the benefit of deducting the interest on your home will be reduced or eliminated. For 2008, the standard deductions are $10,900 for married couples filing jointly, $5,450 for married couples filing separately and singles, and $8,000 for heads of household. You should also be aware that the total tax savings may be less for higher incomes that have their allowable itemized deductions phased out. We also do not consider any tax savings you might have previously had if you are consolidating an existing mortgage. Interest rate Annual interest rate for this mortgage.

Term
The number of years over which you will repay this loan. The most common mortgage terms are 15 years and 30 years.

Combined State and Federal income tax rate:
The marginal combined state and Federal tax rate you expect to pay. Please refer to http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rp-07-66.pdf to determine your Federal tax rate.

Auto loans
Click on the "Enter Data" button to input any auto loans you may have into the details page. This details page is designed to let you input your current monthly payment, the term (in months), the starting balance and the number of months you have left. It then calculates your outstanding balance and interest rate. You can enter up to three installment loans.

Other loans
Click on the "Enter Data" button to input any additional installment loans you may have into the details page. This details page is designed to let you input your current monthly payment, the term (in months), the starting balance and the number of months you have left. It then calculates your outstanding balance and interest rate. You can enter up to six installment loans.

Balances
Your total current balances for your credit cards, auto loans and other loans.

Interest rates
The average annual percentage rate you pay. This interest rate is calculated for each of the categories of debt you have including credit cards, auto loans and other installment loans. For credit cards the rate you enter is used to calculate the interest on all future credit card payments. The length of time to pay off this credit card may be much greater than calculated if you enter a low promotional interest rate that is only good for a short period of time.

Payment
Click on the "Enter Data" button to input any additional installment loans you may have into the details page. This details page is designed to let you input your current monthly payment, the term (in months), the starting balance and the number of months you have left. It then calculates your outstanding balance and interest rate. You can enter up to six installment loans.

(We calculate your minimum monthly payment as 4% of your current outstanding balance. While your actual minimum monthly payment may be slightly different, this is one of the most common methods used by credit card companies to calculate minimum payments.)
