What is a Mortgage Payment?
A mortgage payment is typically divided into two parts: principal and interest. The principal is the loan amount you borrowed, and the interest is the fee the lender charges for lending the money. Your monthly payment consists of these two components, and the interest rate and loan term directly impact the payment amount.
