Mortgage payment formula

For monthly rate r, principal P, and n payments: payment = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)−n). At exactly 0%, payment = P ÷ n.

Example: a $300,000 loan at 6.5% for 30 years produces about $1,896.20 per month in principal and interest.

What the estimate includes

Down payment may be entered as dollars or a percentage; the calculator keeps the alternate form synchronized. Taxes, insurance, HOA, and PMI are included only when you enter them and are not part of the amortized principal-and-interest balance.

Assumptions and limits

  • Fixed annual interest rate with equal monthly principal-and-interest payments.
  • One- to 50-year term and annual rate from 0% through 100%.
  • Yearly rows are built from unrounded internal balances; displayed currency is rounded to cents.
  • Taxes, insurance, HOA, and PMI vary and may change over time.
