How is the Monthly Mortgage Payment Calculated?
The monthly mortgage payment is calculated using the standard amortization formula:
Variable Definitions
- M = Monthly payment
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate
- n = Total number of payments
Example Calculation
For a $400,000 loan at 6% for 30 years:
- P = $400,000
- r = 6% ÷ 12 = 0.5%
- n = 30 × 12 = 360
- M = $2,398/mo
What's Included in Your Monthly Payment?
Your total monthly housing payment typically includes four components, often called PITI:
