How do I calculate my monthly mortgage payments?

MGM’s experts are here to help you understand more about how mortgages work, so you can borrow under the best possible conditions.
Mortgage regulations
When you take out a mortgage, you are protected by the law under the French Consumer Code. Article L. 312 and following entitle you to a 10-day withdrawal period. The Neiertz Law, meanwhile, protects and supports you against over-indebtedness:
- Revision of the term of current loans.
- Consolidation of loans to reduce the number of payments.
- Sale of assets and quality of life analysis when applying to the over-indebtedness commission.
Working out your borrowing capacity
Working out your borrowing capacity is a key step towards successful borrowing. Many factors go into calculating this capacity: income, fees, rent, type of property, deposit, term of the mortgage, interest rate excluding insurance, etc.
To obtain an accurate estimate, we recommended using an online calculator, and carrying out an assessment with your bank. This will take account of two parameters: debt load and the minimum level of income guaranteed to you when repaying your loan. Knowing your borrowing capacity will also tell you how much you should invest in your project in total.
Mortgage: how long should the term be?
Your mortgage can be spread over years or even decades. However, you should know that the longer the term of the loan, the higher the interest rate will be. To plan a property project that is right for you, we recommend that you accurately assess what monthly mortgage payments you can afford, and do not make the term of the mortgage unnecessarily long.
