The mortgage payment formula
This is the standard amortization formula used by lenders. Each payment covers the interest due that month first; the remainder reduces your principal.
- M
- Monthly principal & interest payment
- P
- Loan principal (home price minus down payment)
- r
- Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
- n
- Total number of monthly payments (years × 12)
Example: a $350,000 home with 20% down
- 1
Home price is $350,000 and the down payment is $70,000, so the loan principal P = $280,000.
- 2
The annual rate is 6.5%, so the monthly rate r = 6.5% ÷ 12 = 0.5417% (0.005417).
- 3
A 30-year term means n = 30 × 12 = 360 monthly payments.
- 4
Plugging in: M = 280,000 × 0.005417 × (1.005417)³⁶⁰ ÷ ((1.005417)³⁶⁰ − 1) ≈ $1,769.80 per month.
- 5
Over 360 payments you pay about $637,128 in total — roughly $357,128 of that is interest.
