15-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage

Pay off your home sooner with a 15-year mortgage and a principal and interest payment that stays the same for the life of your loan.

15-Year Fixed

Own Your Home Free
and Clear, Sooner.

A 15-year fixed-rate mortgage typically carries a lower interest rate than a 30-year loan, and every payment builds equity faster. Your payment is typically higher, but the interest you save over the life of the loan can be substantial, making it a powerful choice for anyone who wants to be mortgage-free sooner.

  • Pay off your mortgage in 15 years
  • Typically a lower rate than a 30-year
  • Build equity much faster
  • Fixed principal and interest payment

Why Choose a
15-Year Fixed?

If a higher monthly payment fits your budget, a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage can help you pay less interest overall and become mortgage-free sooner.

  • Interest Savings. A shorter repayment term can substantially reduce total interest compared with a 30-year mortgage.
  • Faster Equity. Pay down your loan balance faster and build equity sooner.
  • Payment Certainty. Your principal and interest payment stays the same throughout the 15-year term.
  • Earlier Freedom. Pay off your mortgage sooner and put future income toward retirement or other goals.
How the Math Works Who It Fits Best A Flexible Alternative Our Approach

Because you borrow over half the time, usually at a lower rate, far less interest accumulates. The tradeoff is a higher monthly payment, since the principal is repaid in 180 payments instead of 360.

It suits homeowners with stable income who can comfortably afford the higher payment, those several years into a 30-year loan, and anyone who wants to be mortgage-free before retirement.

If the higher payment feels tight, a 30-year loan with extra principal payments can shorten your payoff while keeping a lower required payment. We model both approaches for you.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Answers to the questions we hear most about 15-year fixed-rate mortgages.

    Is the rate lower on a 15-year mortgage?
    Typically, yes. Lenders usually price 15-year fixed loans below 30-year fixed loans because the money is repaid faster, which lowers risk.
    How much higher is the monthly payment?
    It depends on the loan amount and rates, but a 15-year payment is noticeably higher than a 30-year payment for the same amount. We show you the exact difference before you decide.
    Can I refinance my 30-year loan into a 15-year?
    Yes. Refinancing into a 15-year fixed is a common way to shorten your payoff, especially if rates have dropped or your income has grown.
    Can I use a 15-year fixed to buy a home?
    Yes. The 15-year fixed is available for purchases as well as refinances, on conventional, FHA, and VA loans.
    Does my payment ever change?
    Your principal and interest payment stays fixed for the full 15 years. Property taxes and homeowners insurance, if paid through escrow, can still change over time.
    What if I want more flexibility?
    A 30-year loan with voluntary extra payments gives you a lower required payment with the option to pay faster. We compare both so you can choose confidently.
