What is Per Diem Interest?
When you take out a mortgage, your first full monthly payment usually isn’t due until the second month after you close. For example, if you close in January, your first mortgage payment will typically be due on March 1. Similarly, if you close in March, your first payment comes due in May.
This happens because mortgage interest is paid in arrears - meaning each payment covers the previous month’s interest. Understanding this timeline is key, and a per diem interest calculator helps you plan by showing how much daily interest you’ll owe from your closing date through the end of the month before regular payments begin.
Think of per diem interest as an interest only payment for the closing month.
