Formula Explained
The calculator uses the standard 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 × 12)
The calculator also includes Virginia property tax calculations based on the assessed value and local tax rates.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $250,000 mortgage at 4.5% interest for 30 years:
Monthly payment = $250,000 [ (0.045/12)(1 + 0.045/12)360 ] / [ (1 + 0.045/12)360 - 1 ]
≈ $1,428.55 per month
Total interest paid = $142,855
This example shows the monthly payment and total interest for a standard 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in Virginia.
