C and N Mortgage Formula
The formula used to calculate your monthly mortgage payment is based on the standard mortgage payment formula:
M = P [i(1 + i)n] / [(1 + i)n - 1]
Where:
- M = Monthly payment
- P = Principal loan amount
- i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to amortize a loan over a specific period.
Example Calculation
Let's look at an example to understand how the C and N mortgage calculator works.
Example Scenario
- Loan amount: $300,000
- Interest rate: 5% (0.05)
- Loan term: 25 years
Calculation Steps
- Convert annual interest rate to monthly: 0.05/12 = 0.0041667
- Calculate number of payments: 25 years × 12 = 300 payments
- Apply the mortgage formula:
M = 300000 [0.0041667(1 + 0.0041667)300] / [(1 + 0.0041667)300 - 1]
- Calculate the result: $1,835.24 per month
Amortization Schedule
The amortization schedule shows how your loan is paid off over time, with each payment applying to both interest and principal.
