Is the Construction Loan Calculator free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no usage limits.
Does it use a specific currency?
No. Amounts are currency-neutral and use the same unit across all inputs, so it works in any country.
How do construction loan payments work?
Money is released in draws as work progresses and you pay interest only on what has been drawn. If on average half of a $400,000 loan at 8.5% is out during a 12-month build, the payments average $1,416.67 a month.
What happens when construction is finished?
A construction-to-permanent loan converts into a regular mortgage; a stand-alone loan must be repaid, usually by taking out a new mortgage. This shows the 30-year payment at the permanent rate you enter.
