Who runs this site
Mortgage Cost Checker is a free, independent UK mortgage calculator site at mortgagecostchecker.com.
Your mortgage figures never leave your browser
Mortgage amounts, rates, fees, and every other figure you enter are calculated in your browser only. They are never sent to our servers, to Google, or to anyone else — not even after you accept analytics cookies.
Google Analytics
If you accept, we use Google Analytics (GA4) to see which pages and calculators are used. Google Analytics collects your IP-derived approximate location, device and browser type, and which pages you view. Google processes this data as our data processor. Nothing from Google Analytics loads until you accept.Read Google's privacy policy for how Google handles this data.
Cookies we use
These cookies are only set after you accept analytics. Rejecting means neither cookie is ever set.
