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 (home price - down payment)
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
- 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 USAA home loan for a $300,000 home with a 20% down payment, 4.5% interest rate, and 30-year term.
- Principal (P) = $300,000 - (20% × $300,000) = $240,000
- Monthly interest rate (r) = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.00375
- Number of payments (n) = 30 × 12 = 360
- Monthly payment = $240,000 × [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^360] / [(1 + 0.00375)^360 - 1] ≈ $1,432.25
Total interest paid over 30 years: $1,432.25 × 360 - $240,000 ≈ $207,765
Total amount paid: $240,000 + $207,765 = $447,765
