Mortgage Formula

The standard mortgage payment formula is:

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 multiplied by 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize the loan over the specified term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $300,000 mortgage at 5% annual interest over 25 years:

Given:

Principal (P) = $300,000
Annual interest rate = 5% (0.05)
Loan term = 25 years

Calculations:

Monthly interest rate (i) = 0.05 / 12 ≈ 0.004167
Number of payments (n) = 25 × 12 = 300
Monthly payment (M) = $300,000 [ 0.004167(1 + 0.004167)³⁰⁰ ] / [ (1 + 0.004167)³⁰⁰ - 1 ] ≈ $1,832.49

Result: Your estimated monthly payment would be $1,832.49.

This example shows how the calculator applies the formula to provide a clear monthly payment estimate.
