Formula Explained
The calculator uses the standard mortgage payment formula:
Mortgage Payment Formula
Monthly Payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount (mortgage balance)
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the mortgage over the loan term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a mortgage payment for a $200,000 loan with a 4% annual interest rate over 30 years.
Example Calculation
Monthly Payment = $200,000 × [0.04/12 × (1 + 0.04/12)^360] / [(1 + 0.04/12)^360 - 1]
Monthly Payment ≈ $1,073.64
This means you would pay approximately $1,073.64 per month to pay off the $200,000 mortgage over 30 years.
