Formula Used

The monthly 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 multiplied by 12)

This formula accounts for the fact that each payment includes both principal and interest, with the interest portion decreasing over time as the principal balance is paid down.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $200,000 loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate and a 30-year term.

Convert the annual interest rate to a monthly rate: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375 in decimal form.
Calculate the number of payments: 30 years × 12 = 360 payments.
Plug the values into the formula:

M = $200,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)³⁶⁰ ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)³⁶⁰ - 1 ]
The calculation yields a monthly payment of approximately $1,073.64.

Using this calculator, you can quickly see how changes in loan amount, interest rate, or term affect your monthly payment.
