Basically, your balance is what you currently owe, and your payoff is what you owe plus interest that accrues from the statement date and a specific payoff date.
There's a process to getting the mortgage payoff statement. First, you'll need to contact your lender and let them know you want the information. Depending on your lender, you may have to sign in to an online account, call a helpline, or send a formal letter to start the request process.
= P × R × T, Where, P = Principal, it is the amount that is initially borrowed from the bank or invested. R = Rate of Interest, it is at which the principal amount is given to someone for a certain time, the rate of interest can be 5%, 10%, or 13%, etc., and is to be written as r/100.
The best way to get the accurate payoff amount is to contact your lender.
Under federal law, the servicer must generally send you a payoff statement within seven business days of your request, subject to a few exceptions. (12 C.F.R. § 1026.36.)
Lenders multiply your outstanding balance by your annual interest rate but divide by 12 because you're making monthly payments. So if you owe $300,000 on your mortgage and your rate is 4%, you'll initially owe $1,000 in interest per month ($300,000 x 0.04 ÷ 12).
