Mortgage Payment Calculator
Use our instant, private mortgage calculator to uncover exactly what your monthly P&I (Principal and Interest) payments will look like, and see the true lifetime cost of your home loan.
How It Works
Our mortgage calculator uses the standard amortization formula: M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n−1], where P is the principal loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12), and n is the total number of monthly payments. Total interest is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the number of payments and subtracting the principal.
When to Use This
Use this calculator before making an offer on a home to understand your monthly budget commitment. It is also useful when comparing a 15-year vs. 30-year loan, or when shopping for different interest rates from lenders.
