Mortgage Formula

The calculator uses the standard mortgage payment formula:

Mortgage Payment Formula

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]

Where:

  • M = Monthly payment
  • P = Principal loan amount (Purchase price - Down payment)
  • i = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate / 12 / 100)
  • n = Number of payments (Amortization period in years Γ— 12)

The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a mortgage with equal principal and interest payments. The calculator also shows the total interest paid over the mortgage term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a mortgage for a $350,000 home in London Ontario with:

  • Down payment: $70,000 (20%)
  • Mortgage amount: $280,000
  • Interest rate: 5.25% (fixed)
  • Amortization: 25 years

Calculation Steps

  1. Monthly interest rate = 5.25% / 12 = 0.4375%
  2. Number of payments = 25 Γ— 12 = 300
  3. Using the formula: M = $280,000 [ 0.004375(1 + 0.004375)^300 ] / [ (1 + 0.004375)^300 - 1 ]
  4. Monthly payment β‰ˆ $1,850.25
  5. Total interest paid β‰ˆ $228,062.50

For this example, your monthly payment would be approximately $1,850.25, with a total interest cost of about $228,062.50 over 25 years.
