What it is
The Mortgage Simulator is built for people who want clear numbers and no surprises. Use it before signing to test multiple combinations of amount, rate and term and quickly see whether the payment fits your budget. Use it after your mortgage is active too: recreate the real conditions and check whether you’re still paying “well” compared to your goals. Beyond the monthly payment, the app focuses on what truly matters: the total cost of the mortgage. That’s why you can enter upfront and recurring fees (appraisal, origination, insurance, account management and more) to get a more realistic view of what you’ll spend over time. When you want to make a concrete move, you can simulate partial repayment and refinancing by choosing the date and amount: the simulator shows how total interest, remaining term and—if enabled—the monthly payment change. Each scenario is saved in your browser for quick access; and if you switch device, export everything to a JSON file and import it back in seconds. Finally, beyond pure calculation, the app interprets the numbers for you. Sustainability traffic lights tell you at a glance whether your LTV (loan-to-value, mortgage/property ratio) is prudent, whether the payment weighs too heavily on your net income, and whether total interest is in sensible proportion to the principal. Advisor verdicts react to your specific scenario: high LTV on a primary home with a Fondo Garanzia Mutui Prima Casa Consap (Italian state-backed first-home mortgage guarantee fund) suggestion, a stress scenario for variable rates showing the payment with +2 points of Euribor, and a flag on heavy total cost with advice to consider a future refinancing. The “Learn more” section then collects practical explanations on fixed vs variable vs mixed rates, refinancing and renegotiation, first-home incentives (4% IVA — Italian VAT — 19% interest deduction, Fondo Consap), options when you need an LTV above 80%, early repayment and the Bersani Law (2007 Italian banking law), and what happens if you can’t pay an installment.
