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 a loan over the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a USAA mortgage payment for a $300,000 loan at 4.5% interest over 30 years:
- Principal (P) = $300,000
- Annual interest rate = 4.5% or 0.045
- Monthly interest rate (i) = 0.045/12 = 0.00375
- Loan term in months (n) = 30 × 12 = 360
Plugging these values into the formula:
M = 300,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^360 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^360 - 1 ]
M ≈ $1,610.48 per month
This means you would pay approximately $1,610.48 each month for 30 years to repay the $300,000 loan.
