Portfolio Project: Simplify Your Home Financing with Our Mortgage Calculator

Subject: Looking for Feedback on My Mortgage Calculator Project!

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to share my latest portfolio project: a Mortgage Calculator developed in Python! The aim of this project is to help prospective homeowners better understand their mortgage options and financial commitments.

About the Project

The Mortgage Calculator allows users to input various parameters, including:

  • Purchase price of the home
  • Annual interest rate
  • Loan term (in years)
  • Number of payments per year
  • Annual property tax rate
  • Annual insurance rate

Using this information, the calculator computes:

  • Monthly payments
  • Total interest paid over the life of the loan
  • A detailed amortization schedule
  • Visual representations of payments over time

Key Features

  • User-Friendly Interface: Built with Bootstrap for a responsive design.
  • Comprehensive Calculations: Covers all aspects of mortgage payments.
  • Amortization Schedule: Displays how payments are distributed over time.
  • Graphical Output: Helps users visualize principal and interest payments.

Why I Created This

As someone interested in personal finance, I wanted to build a tool that simplifies the mortgage process and empowers users to make informed decisions.
