Mortgage Formula
The calculator uses the standard mortgage payment formula:
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 a loan with compound interest. The calculator applies this formula to provide your estimated payment.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a mortgage payment with the following details:
- Loan Amount: $250,000
- Interest Rate: 4.5% (0.045)
- Loan Term: 30 years
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 0.045/12 = 0.00375
2. Calculate number of payments: 30 × 12 = 360
3. Apply the formula: M = 250000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)360 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)360 - 1 ]
4. The calculation yields approximately $1,347.50 per month
This example shows that with a $250,000 loan at 4.5% interest over 30 years, your monthly payment would be about $1,347.50.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between fixed and adjustable-rate mortgages?
A fixed-rate mortgage has the same interest rate and monthly payment throughout the loan term, while an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) has an initial fixed rate that may change after a certain period. Fixed-rate mortgages provide more stability, while ARMs may offer lower initial rates.
How does property tax affect my mortgage payment?
Property taxes are typically paid separately from your mortgage payment. However, some lenders may include property taxes in your monthly payment estimate. Check with RBC Bank USA to understand how property taxes are handled in your specific mortgage.
What is PMI and when is it required?
PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) is required when you put down less than 20% of the home's value. It protects the lender if you default on the loan. PMI is typically removed once your equity reaches 20% of the home's value.
