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 = P × r(1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1)
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. 1

    Home price is $350,000 and the down payment is $70,000, so the loan principal P = $280,000.

  2. 2

    The annual rate is 6.5%, so the monthly rate r = 6.5% ÷ 12 = 0.5417% (0.005417).

  3. 3

    A 30-year term means n = 30 × 12 = 360 monthly payments.

  4. 4

    Plugging in: M = 280,000 × 0.005417 × (1.005417)³⁶⁰ ÷ ((1.005417)³⁶⁰ − 1) ≈ $1,769.80 per month.

  5. 5

    Over 360 payments you pay about $637,128 in total — roughly $357,128 of that is interest.
