How to Use This Calculator

To use the real estate mortgage calculator, follow these simple steps:

  2. Input your down payment amount or percentage.
  3. Specify the loan term in years.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard mortgage payment formula:

Monthly Payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]

Where:

  • P = Principal loan amount (Property Price - Down Payment)
  • r = Monthly interest rate (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
  • n = Number of payments (Loan Term in Years × 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize the loan over the specified term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a mortgage for a PHP 10,000,000 property with a 20% down payment, 20-year term, and 6% annual interest rate.

Property Price PHP 10,000,000
Down Payment 20% (PHP 2,000,000)
Loan Amount PHP 8,000,000
Annual Interest Rate 6%
Loan Term 20 years

The calculator would show:

  • Monthly Payment: PHP 62,500
  • Total Interest Paid: PHP 2,400,000
  • Total Amount Paid: PHP 10,400,000

This example demonstrates how a 20% down payment on a PHP 10 million property with a 6% interest rate over 20 years results in monthly payments of PHP 62,500.
