Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard mortgage payment formula to calculate your monthly payment:
Mortgage Payment Formula
Monthly Payment = P × [r(1 + r)n] / [(1 + r)n - 1]
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)
Total interest is calculated by subtracting the loan amount from the total loan cost.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a USAA mortgage loan with the following details:
- Loan Amount: $200,000
- Interest Rate: 4.5% (0.045)
- Loan Term: 30 years
Calculation Steps
- Convert annual rate to monthly: 0.045 / 12 = 0.00375
- Calculate number of payments: 30 × 12 = 360
- Apply the mortgage formula:
Monthly Payment = $200,000 × [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)360] / [(1 + 0.00375)360 - 1]
= $200,000 × [0.00375 × 1.00375360] / [1.00375360 - 1]
= $200,000 × [0.00375 × 1.490069] / [1.490069 - 1]
= $200,000 × [0.005602] / [0.490069]
= $200,000 × 0.011432
= $2,286.40
- Total loan cost: $2,286.40 × 360 = $823,104
- Total interest: $823,104 - $200,000 = $623,104
For this example, the estimated monthly payment is $2,286.40, the total interest is $623,104, and the total loan cost is $823,104.
