What is Mortgage Constant?
The Mortgage Constant calculation tells you your mortgage constant from a few simple inputs. The figure you are solving for here is the mortgage constant, expressed in percent.
The Mortgage Constant formula
The core formula is:
Mortgage constant = Annual debt service ÷ Loan amount × 100Here is what each input means:
- Annual debt service — a money amount. Example: ₹90,000.
- Loan amount — a money amount. Example: ₹10,00,000.
How to calculate it step by step
- Write down the annual debt service (for example, ₹90,000).
- Write down the loan amount (for example, ₹10,00,000).
- Apply the formula above to get your mortgage constant.
- Double-check the result with the Mortgage Constant Calculator.
Worked examples
Example 1
| Input / Output | Value |
|---|---|
| Annual debt service | ₹90,000 |
| Loan amount | ₹10,00,000 |
| Mortgage constant | 9.0000% |
With annual debt service of ₹90,000 and loan amount of ₹10,00,000, the mortgage constant works out to 9.0000%.
Example 2
With annual debt service of ₹1,80,000 and loan amount of ₹10,00,000, the mortgage constant works out to 18.0000%.
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Mortgage constant | 18.0000% |
Example 3
With annual debt service of ₹45,000 and loan amount of ₹10,00,000, the mortgage constant works out to 4.5000%.
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Mortgage constant | 4.5000% |
Tips for an accurate result
- Keep your units consistent — mixing, say, months with years or grams with kilograms is the most common source of error.
- Round only at the very end. Rounding inputs early can shift the final answer noticeably.
- Re-run the numbers whenever an input changes, rather than estimating from an old result.
- Annual rates must be converted to the period you are calculating for (for example, divide an annual rate by 12 for a monthly figure).
