Formula used

The mortgage payment calculation uses the standard amortization 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 fully amortize a loan over the specified term.

Worked example

Let's calculate a mortgage payment for a $200,000 loan with a 4% annual interest rate over 30 years.

Convert annual rate to monthly: 4% ÷ 12 = 0.333% or 0.00333 in decimal
Calculate number of payments: 30 years × 12 = 360 payments
Plug values into formula:

M = $200,000 [ 0.00333(1 + 0.00333)^360 ] / [ (1 + 0.00333)^360 - 1 ]
The calculation results in a monthly payment of approximately $1,073.64

Over 30 years, you would pay a total of $386,470, with $86,470 going toward interest.
