Monthly payments on a $150,000 mortgage

At a 4% fixed interest rate, your monthly mortgage payment on a 30-year mortgage might total $716.12 a month, while a 15-year might cost $1,109.53 a month.

Informative, easy to follow, and genius.

Those considering a 10-year mortgage should ideally be approximately 10 years from when they plan to retire. Because the 10-year fixed-rate mortgage requires higher monthly payments, it's crucial that you be able to afford these higher rates for the entire life of the loan.

Practical, honest and sincere advice

Even so, a 15-year refinance could make sense financially. If a 15-year refinance doesn't fit your budget, you can always consider refinancing into a 20 or 30-year loan and making higher payments to eliminate your mortgage faster and reduce the amount of interest you pay.
