How It Works
This **monthly payment & amortization tool** uses a standard amortization formula to precisely determine your loan payments. The formula is:
$M = P \times \frac{i(1+i)^n}{(1+i)^n - 1}$
The calculator also shows the significant impact of extra payments. By applying even a small amount extra each month toward your principal, you can dramatically shorten your loan term and save thousands in interest over the life of the loan.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What determines my mortgage payment?
Your monthly mortgage payment is primarily based on three factors: the loan amount, the annual interest rate, and the loan term. Optional extra payments can help reduce your total interest and shorten the loan term.
How much interest will I pay on a 30-year mortgage?
The total interest paid on a 30-year mortgage can be substantial. Use the **mortgage payment calculator** to see your total interest cost and how it changes if you make even a few extra payments.
Will making extra monthly payments help?
Yes, absolutely. Putting even a small extra amount toward your principal each month can shorten the loan term by years and save you thousands in interest over the life of the loan. This **mortgage payment calculator** shows you exactly how much you can save.
Can I estimate the impact of a down payment?
Yes, by entering a down payment, the calculator automatically reduces your loan amount, which will lower your monthly payments and total interest paid.
Is this calculator accurate?
Our tool uses the standard amortization formula for accuracy. However, please note that it does not account for property taxes, insurance, or other fees (PITI) unless you include them in the loan amount, and it's best to consult a professional for financial advice.
