About Our Website

Design Inspiration

The site is not in any way associated with any government entity, but we tried to make the colours used in the design themed after colours associated with the Union Jack, as it is one of the most iconic flags the world over and the colours are beautiful. :)

The logo design concept aimed to combine the ideas of a house and a calculator, while also being inspired in part by the TARDIS time machine from the TV show Doctor Who.

Securing the Domain Name

When Nominet confirmed the launch of the .UK TLD we were excited and hopeful to get this domain name. Unfortunately someone else beat us to it. We offered to buy the domain on August 13, 2019 and they turned us down. Three days after turning us down they counter offered with a reasonable price and we bought the domain name.

The site has been online for a couple years with over 99.99% uptime, serving over 100,000 visitors to date in our short history.

Mortgage Calculations

Calculating Monthly Fixed Rate Amortising Mortgage Payments

Calculating regular amortising monthly repayments is easy using the following formula.
Mortgage Payment = P x (r / n) x [(1 + r / n)^n(t)] / [(1 + r / n)^n(t) - 1]
where:

 

1

P = principal

2

r = mortgage interest rate as a decimal

3

n = number of payments per year (12 for monthly)

4

t = loan term in years

 

Here is the calculation for a 3% APR loan over 25 years

£180,000 x (.03 / 12) x [(1 + .03 / 12)^12(25)] / [(1 + .03/12)^12(25) - 1]
£180,000 x 0.0025 x [1.0025^300] / [(1.0025)^300-1]
£180,000 x 0.0025 x 2.11501955766 / (2.11501955766 - 1)
£450 x 2.11501955766 / (1.11501955766 ) = £853.58/mo

A person could do this calculation by hand, or use the calculator on our homepage to do it faster automatically.

Calculating Interest Only Monthly Mortgage Payments

The above formula is for an amortising loan. The maths on interest-only payments is easier.
Interest Only Mortgage Payment = P x (r / n)
where:

 

1

P = principal

2

r = mortgage interest rate as a decimal

3

n = number of payments per year (12 for monthly)

 

£180,000 x .03 / 12
£180,000 x 0.0025 = £450/mo
