Legal disclosures

Every situation is different. These figures are for estimation purposes only and may not reflect the exact terms of your loan. This is not a commitment to lend.

30-year Fixed-Rate Loan: Payment assumes a loan-to-value (LTV) of 80.00%.

30-year FHA Fixed-Rate Loan: Payment assumes a loan-to-value (LTV) of 80.00%.

Payment includes a one-time upfront mortgage insurance premium at 1.75% of the base loan amount and a monthly mortgage insurance premium (MIP) calculated at 0.5% of the base loan amount. For mortgages with a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 80.00%, the 0.5% monthly MIP will be paid for the first 11 years of the mortgage term. Thereafter, the monthly loan payment will consist of equal monthly principal and interest payments until the end of the loan.

30-year Fixed-Rate VA Loan: Payment assumes a loan-to-value (LTV) of 80.00%.

VA loans do not require PMI. The VA loan is a benefit of military service and only offered to veterans, surviving spouses and active duty military.

30-year Fixed-Rate Jumbo Loan: Payment assumes a loan-to-value (LTV) of 70.00%.

Many factors determine your 30-year mortgage rate

You can control some things that influence your interest rate, like your financial details. Other things, not so much. Here are some of the factors that impact rates.

Economic

The stock market, the Federal Reserve, inflation and the housing market all affect mortgage rates.

Personal

Your credit profile, your debt compared to your income, and how much you’re borrowing help determine your mortgage rate.

Loan type

Conventional, FHA and VA loans (mortgages for eligible military) are all available as a 30-year mortgage, but often have different rates.

Pros and cons of a 30-year mortgage

Pros

Lower monthly payments because they’re spread out over a longer period than loans with shorter terms.

Ability to afford a more expensive home. A lower mortgage payment lowers your debt-to-income ratio, so you could get prequalified to spend more.

With Rocket Mortgage®, you can make extra payments to pay your loan off sooner without penalty.

Cons

Interest rates are typically higher because it takes longer for lenders to be reimbursed for the loan.

You’ll pay more interest because of the longer term.

It takes longer to build equity. Equity is the difference between what you owe on your home and its value. A 30-year term takes longer to reduce what you owe, so you won’t build equity as fast.

30-year mortgage rates frequently asked questions

Don’t see your question here? We love helping people understand how rates work and what yours could be. Just talk to us.

An interest rate is the percentage you’re charged to borrow money. The rate you’re charged for a home loan that takes 30 years to pay off is a 30-year mortgage rate.

Thirty-year mortgages usually have a fixed rate: your interest rate stays the same for as long as you have the loan.

Your home loan will have two main parts:

  • The amount you borrowed to buy your home and you’re paying back. This is called the principal.
  • The interest charged on the money you borrowed. Because it's fixed, your interest rate stays the same for as long as you have the loan.

In the beginning, most of your monthly payment goes toward paying interest. As your loan balance shrinks, more of your payment goes toward principal.

After 30 years of making regular monthly payments you’ll have paid off the entire loan and the house will be yours.

A mortgage rate lock keeps your interest rate from rising for a certain length of time.

You can consider locking your rate once you’ve found a home you want to buy and are ready to start getting your mortgage for it.

If the rate you’re getting gives you a monthly payment that fits your budget, and rates have been trending up, you might want to lock it. Your Home Loan Expert can help you understand if locking your rate makes sense for you.

The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States. It controls the federal funds rate: the interest rate banks charge each other to borrow money. The Federal Reserve changes the federal funds rate to help the economy, and these changes can make mortgage rates go up or down.

Here are a couple of examples.

Changing the funds rate affects how much it costs banks to borrow money. If it's cheaper for banks to borrow, they can offer lower interest rates on loans, including mortgages. If it's more expensive for banks to borrow, they might charge higher interest rates on loans.

If investors think the Federal Reserve will lower rates, they might buy more bonds, which can push mortgage rates down. If they think the Fed will raise rates, they might sell bonds, which can push mortgage rates up.

One thing these two loans share is a fixed rate: that means your interest rate stays the same as long as you have the loan. Here are some of the differences:

  • Size of monthly payment: Payments spread out over 30 years are lower than those spread out over 15 years.
  • Interest rate: A 15-year loan is paid back in half the time as a 30-year. So interest rates are usually lower, since the lender gets their money back sooner.
  • Interest paid: The longer the loan, the more interest you’ll pay, and vice versa.
