How the Home Loan Calculator Works
The home loan repayment calculator helps you determine your monthly mortgage payments based on the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. It provides a clear breakdown of your payments, including principal and interest components.
Key Features
- Calculate monthly mortgage payments
- View amortization schedule
- Understand principal vs. interest breakdown
- Visualize payment distribution with a chart
This calculator uses standard mortgage calculation methods. For exact figures, consult your lender as rates and terms may vary.
Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard mortgage payment formula:
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)
The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $200,000 loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate over 30 years.
Monthly interest rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Number of payments = 30 years × 12 = 360
Monthly payment = $200,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)360 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)360 - 1 ]
Monthly payment ≈ $1,199.44
This means you would pay approximately $1,199.44 per month to repay the $200,000 loan over 30 years.
