= Mortgage constant
{wiki=Mortgage_constant}
The mortgage constant, also known as the mortgage capitalization rate or the mortgage factor, is a financial metric used to calculate the annual debt service (the total amount of principal and interest payments) on a mortgage loan as a percentage of the total loan amount. It provides a way to express the cost of borrowing in relation to the loan amount and is useful in determining the impact of mortgage payments on cash flow for real estate investments.
