Worked Example

Let's calculate a mortgage for a $300,000 home in Rhode Island with:

20% down payment ($60,000)
30-year term
4.5% interest rate

The principal loan amount is $240,000. Using the formula:

M = $240,000 [ (0.045/12)(1 + 0.045/12)^360 ] / [ (1 + 0.045/12)^360 - 1 ] M ≈ $1,425.68 per month

Including Rhode Island property taxes and insurance, the total monthly payment would be approximately $1,500.
