How To Use The modification calculator helps determine any benefit you may receive by adjusting the terms of your existing first mortgage. Most modifications will lower your mortgage payment to 31% of your gross monthly income. This is the percentage that will be used in this example.
The amount of your modification (if eligible) depends on a variety of factors. Your mortgage company or a housing counselor will be able to help you determine any benefits from modification. As such, any results returned by this calculator should only be used as one of many factors in evaluating your options. This calculator returns information based on inputs regarding your existing mortgage information. It is important that you provide accurate information in order to receive more realistic results. Your mortgage company may use different information to determine eligibility and your individual results may vary from the results shown by this calculator.
This should include principal, interest, taxes, insurance and homeowner's association fees. This calculator is not intended for homeowners with 2 or more mortgages. If you have an escrow account set up on your first mortgage, these costs will be included in your monthly payment. If not, click here and fill in the information below.
