Formula Explained

The mortgage payment calculation uses the standard formula for amortizing loans:

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 accounts for the interest you'll pay over the life of the loan while ensuring your principal is paid off by the end of the term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $300,000 mortgage at 4% interest over 30 years:

Monthly payment: $1,618.99

Total interest paid: $282,557.20

Total amount paid: $582,557.20

This example shows that over 30 years, you would pay $1,618.99 each month, with $282,557.20 going toward interest alone. The total amount paid would be $582,557.20.
