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 calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a monthly mortgage 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 loan term affect your monthly payment.
