Best Free Loan & Mortgage Tracker

Compare the ways to keep track of a mortgage or a loan — a spreadsheet, a budgeting app that shows one balance, a calculator app, or CalculatorAI's Loan & Mortgage Tracker, which follows your loan against its own contract and every payment you actually make.

Loan & Mortgage Tracker

AIFree

Your real payments followed against the contract — early, late, extra or missed — not a table where nothing ever changes

Extra payments with the choice your bank actually makes: a shorter term or a lower payment, and the interest it saved

Annuity, equal-principal and interest-only loans, with monthly, daily or Canadian interest — the loan as your contract writes it

Escrow, PMI and equity in one view, with the date mortgage insurance has to stop

SpreadsheetLoan & budget apps
Most apps show a loan as a single number pulled from the bank: what you owe today. Calculator apps go the other way — a perfect amortization table for a loan where every payment is on time and nothing ever changes. Real loans are neither: payments come early or late, you pay extra when you can, the rate resets, escrow and mortgage insurance ride along, and the bank's balance is a few dollars off the table.
CalculatorAI's Loan & Mortgage Tracker sits in between. You describe the loan once the way the contract does — rate, term, how the payment is built, how interest is counted, what is added to each payment — and it builds the schedule and follows your real payments against it: what each one did, what an extra payment saved, when mortgage insurance stops, what the loan really costs and when it really ends. Unlimited loans, free, no card, no ads.

What a loan tracker has to get right

Real payments against the schedule

Every payment is matched to its due date, even a few days early or late. With autopay on, you log only what differs; with it off, a missed payment is flagged and its interest keeps adding up — the way the bank counts it.

Extra payments: shorter term or lower payment

Tell it what your bank did with an overpayment and see the interest saved and the months cut — on your real balance, not on a fresh table.

Any loan the way the contract says

Same payment (annuity), equal principal (a falling payment), interest only; interest by a monthly rate, by actual days (365, 360 or 365/366) or Canadian semi-annual compounding; interest-only years, deferment and a balloon.

Escrow, PMI and your equity

Taxes, insurance and PMI ride along with each payment without touching the balance. See your equity and loan-to-value, the date PMI must stop (78%) and when you can ask to drop it (80%).

Variable rates and refinancing

Log each rate change and whether the bank re-spread the payment or moved the end date. Check a refinance: the new payment, the money saved overall and how long the closing costs take to pay back.

What the loan really costs

The true yearly cost with fees and insurance (APR and effective rate), the interest per calendar year for tax time, and your bank's statement balance to keep everything in line.

Your overpayment plan

Save what you mean to pay on top — each month, or a bonus on a date. The payoff date follows it everywhere, planned is kept apart from paid, and a date you choose tells you the extra it takes.

Tax deduction, offers and rate rises

An estimate of the tax refund (Russia's interest and purchase deduction, US mortgage interest), up to three offers compared by their real cost with fees, and what a rate rise or the end of a fixed deal would do to the payment.

Import and print

Bring a payment history in from your bank's CSV export for free, or from a photo or PDF of a statement (Pro), and print the schedule as a PDF laid out like the bank's.

AI Assistant

Ask about your loan in plain words

The site assistant reads the same loans the tracker shows — balances, the next payment, the interest saved, the payoff dates — and answers with your numbers. Tell it about a payment and the form opens filled in for you to save.

What it helps with

A1

Answer 'how much do I still owe?', 'when is it paid off?' and 'how much have my extra payments saved?' from your own loans.

A2

Explain a payment: how much went to interest and how much to principal, and why.

A3

Work out what paying more, a lump sum or a refinance would do — the same planner the tracker uses.

A4

Log a payment or add a loan from one sentence — the form opens filled for you to save.

Live
I paid an extra $2,000 on the mortgage today. How much sooner will it be paid off?
The payment form is open: today, $2,000, extra payment, shorter term — press Save. With it, the mortgage ends in March 2051 instead of June 2051 and saves about $9,800 of interest. You have now paid $13,500 ahead of the schedule.

Owed

$413,900

Interest saved

$58,490

Debt-free

2051

The assistant quotes the tracker's figures; they are an estimate from the contract you entered, not your lender's statement, and nothing is saved until you press Save.

Considerations & Limitations

  • No automatic sync with your bank or lender — you enter the loan once and log what differs from the schedule; a statement balance keeps it in line
  • The schedule is an estimate from the contract you enter; your lender's statement is the official figure
  • Tax deduction is an estimate for Russian and US mortgages only and not tax advice; elsewhere it gives the interest per calendar year
  • Native phone app — in development; for now it runs in the browser and installs from it as an app
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about following a loan, extra payments, PMI, variable rates and what the tracker does and does not do.

01What is the best free loan or mortgage tracker?
It depends on what you want to see. If you want every account's balance pulled in automatically, a budgeting app with bank sync is the tool — and it will show the loan as one number. If you want to follow one loan in depth — what each payment did, what extra payments saved, when it really ends and what it costs — CalculatorAI's Loan & Mortgage Tracker does that for free, with no card and no ads.
02How does it compare with Monarch, Copilot, YNAB, Quicken and mortgage apps?
Checked October 2026, and plans change. Monarch ($99.99 a year) and Copilot ($95 a year) sync your loan balances and show equity, but do not build a schedule against your payments. YNAB ($109 a year) has a what-if loan calculator. Quicken Classic tracks loans with an amortization register and adjustable rates, and users report it struggles with extra principal and recasts. Phone apps such as Mortgage Tracker and Mortgage Pal are calculators with extra payments. CalculatorAI adds what they mostly leave out: real payments against the contract, equal-principal and daily-interest loans, the PMI stop date, the overpayment allowance and the refinance break-even — free. It does not sync with your bank.
03How much do extra payments on a mortgage save?
More the earlier they come, because every extra dollar stops being charged interest for the rest of the loan. On a $360,000 30-year mortgage at 6.75%, $11,500 paid ahead in the first three years cuts about two and a half years and roughly $58,000 of interest. If your bank lowers the payment instead of shortening the term, the saving is smaller. The tracker's planner shows both from your real balance.
04When does PMI stop?
On a US conventional loan, private mortgage insurance must end automatically when the balance is scheduled to reach 78% of the home's original value, and you can ask for it to be removed once you reach 80% (with a good payment record). The tracker shows both dates — the first from the original schedule, the second from your real balance including extra payments. FHA mortgage insurance follows different rules.
05Does it work outside the United States?
Yes. It works in any currency and follows the loan the way the contract writes it: equal-principal payments common in Europe, interest by actual days (365/366), Canadian semi-annual compounding, an offset account, a yearly overpayment allowance and early-repayment charges. Escrow and PMI are optional.
06Can it connect to my bank?
No. You enter the loan once, and with autopay on the scheduled payments count as made; you log only extra payments and anything that differs. When your statement shows the balance, enter it — the tracker follows the bank's figure and shows how far its own estimate was off.
07Can I import my payment history?
Yes. Export the transactions from your lender's online banking as CSV (comma, semicolon or tab — any language) and import them for free: the columns are matched by themselves, rows already inside your starting balance or already logged are left out and the sheet says why. A photo or PDF of a statement is read by AI on Pro. The schedule prints as a PDF on every plan.

See your loan the way your bank should show it

Open the tracker and look at the example: a 30-year mortgage with escrow, PMI and a few extra payments, a car loan with daily interest and one late payment, and a variable-rate home equity line. Your own loan replaces it the moment you add it.
