Formula Used

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 multiplied by 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 payment for a $200,000 loan at 4.5% annual interest over 30 years:

  1. Principal (P) = $200,000
  2. Annual interest rate = 4.5% or 0.045
  3. Monthly interest rate (i) = 0.045 / 12 ≈ 0.00375
  4. Number of payments (n) = 30 years × 12 = 360 months

Plugging these values into the formula:

M = 200000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^360 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^360 - 1 ] ≈ $1,073.64

So, your estimated monthly payment would be approximately $1,073.64.
