Formula Used

The mortgage payment is calculated using the standard mortgage formula:

This formula accounts for the interest on the outstanding principal each month, creating a fixed monthly payment that gradually reduces the principal over time.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a mortgage for a $400,000 home with a 20% down payment, 5% interest rate, and 25-year amortization:

1. Down payment: $400,000 × 20% = $80,000
2. Principal: $400,000 - $80,000 = $320,000
3. Monthly interest rate: 5% / 12 = 0.4167%
4. Number of payments: 25 × 12 = 300
5. Using the formula: M = $320,000 [ 0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^300 ] / [ (1 + 0.004167)^300 - 1 ]
6. This calculates to approximately $1,934 per month

Over 25 years, you would pay $700,200 in total, with $380,200 going toward interest.
