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 × 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

Monthly interest rate = 5.25% / 12 = 0.4375%
Number of payments = 25 × 12 = 300
Using the formula: M = $280,000 [ 0.004375(1 + 0.004375)^300 ] / [ (1 + 0.004375)^300 - 1 ]
Monthly payment ≈ $1,850.25
Total interest paid ≈ $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.
