This mortgage calculator helps you estimate your monthly mortgage payments without including property taxes. Property taxes can vary significantly by location and are often excluded from mortgage calculations to provide a clearer picture of your principal and interest payments.
How This Mortgage Calculator Works
This calculator provides an estimate of your monthly mortgage payments based on the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term. Property taxes are excluded from the calculation to give you a clear view of your principal and interest obligations.
Note: This calculator does not account for property taxes. You should factor in your local property tax rate separately when budgeting for your mortgage.
Key Features
- Calculate monthly mortgage payments without property taxes
- View total interest paid over the life of the loan
- See a breakdown of principal and interest payments
- Visualize your loan amortization schedule
The Formula
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 required to pay off the loan over the specified term, assuming regular payments and a constant interest rate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a mortgage payment for a $200,000 loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate over 30 years.
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Loan Amount | $200,000 |
| Annual Interest Rate | 4.5% |
| Loan Term (Years) | 30 |
Using the formula:
Monthly interest rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.00375
Number of payments = 30 × 12 = 360
Monthly payment = $200,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)360 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)360 - 1 ]
Monthly payment ≈ $1,073.64
Total interest paid over 30 years: $362,280.00
