Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard mortgage payment 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 multiplied by 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate. The calculator also includes additional calculations for total interest and total repayment amount.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a mortgage for $200,000 at 4.5% annual interest for 30 years:
- Principal (P) = $200,000
- Annual interest rate = 4.5% or 0.045
- Monthly interest rate (i) = 0.045 / 12 ≈ 0.00375
- Number of payments (n) = 30 × 12 = 360
Plugging these into the formula:
M = 200,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)360 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)360 - 1 ]
Calculating the components:
- (1 + 0.00375)360 ≈ 3.447
- Numerator = 200,000 × 0.00375 × 3.447 ≈ 2,591,250
- Denominator = 3.447 - 1 = 2.447
- M ≈ 2,591,250 / 2.447 ≈ $1,058.67
So your monthly payment would be approximately $1,058.67. The total interest paid over 30 years would be about $358,670, and the total repayment amount would be $558,670.
