About Mortgage Reveal

Free tools and plain-language guides for home buyers.

What is Mortgage Reveal?

Mortgage Reveal is a free web and iOS app that shows you what a mortgage actually costs — not just the monthly payment, but the full picture: total interest paid, the exact month PMI drops off, how extra payments shorten your loan, and how two competing offers really compare side by side.

Most mortgage tools show you a number. Mortgage Reveal shows you the math behind it.

Who made it?

Mortgage Reveal is built and maintained by AlexApps.Net Co, an independent software developer based in the United States. The app was created out of personal frustration with mortgage calculators that hide the interest — the number that matters most.

We are not a lender, broker, or financial advisor. We don't sell your data or take commissions on loans. The tools are free to use and always will be.
