We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with confidence. And while our site doesn’t feature every company or financial product available on the market, we’re proud that the guidance we offer, the information we provide and the tools we create are objective, independent, straightforward — and free.
So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us. This may influence which products we review and write about (and where those products appear on the site), but it in no way affects our recommendations or advice, which are grounded in thousands of hours of research. Our partners cannot pay us to guarantee favorable reviews of their products or services. Here is a list of our partners.

What's the difference between a 15-year and 30-year mortgage?
A 15-year mortgage is designed to be paid off over 15 years. A 30-year mortgage is structured to be paid in full, or amortized, in 30 years. The interest rate is lower on a 15-year mortgage, and because the term is half as long, you'll pay less interest over the life of the loan. The monthly payment on a 15-year mortgage will be higher than with a 30-year mortgage for the same amount.
When to consider a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage
The main draws of 15-year fixed-rate loans are their lower interest rates and that they'll be paid off more quickly. Like any fixed-rate loan, they also offer stability; the monthly principal-and-interest payment won’t change no matter what happens to inflation or market interest rates.
But the monthly payment will be higher than that of a 30-year loan for the same amount due to the shorter term. The higher payment makes it harder to qualify for the 15-year loan.
When you want more room in your monthly budget, a 30-year mortgage could be the better choice because the monthly payments are lower, and more affordable, than on a 15-year loan.
