How to Use This Calculator
Using our mortgage calculator is simple:

- Click "Calculate" to see your estimated monthly payment
The calculator will display your monthly payment amount along with a breakdown of how much goes toward principal and interest each month.
Formula Used
The mortgage payment is calculated using the standard mortgage 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 × 12)
This formula accounts for the fact that each payment includes both principal and interest, with the interest calculated on the remaining balance.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a mortgage payment for a $300,000 loan with a 5-year term at 5.25% interest:
- Principal (P) = $300,000
- Annual interest rate = 5.25% or 0.0525
- Monthly interest rate (i) = 0.0525 / 12 ≈ 0.004375
- Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these into the formula:
M = 300,000 [0.004375(1 + 0.004375)60] / [(1 + 0.004375)60 - 1]
M ≈ $6,225.54 per month
This means you would pay approximately $6,225.54 each month for 5 years to pay off your $300,000 mortgage.
