Interest rate compounded half-yearly, not in advance. The mortgage payment amount may vary according to certain variables entered in to the calculator and may not provide the precise dollar amount of your payment.

The accelerated bi-weekly payment is equivalent to the monthly payment divided by two and the accelerated weekly payment is equivalent to the monthly payment divided by four.
