Mortgage Calculator Formula / How It Works

The calculator evaluates the amortization schedule by calculating monthly mortgage installments based on loan principal, interest rates, and loan tenure.

Formula:M = P * [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1] + Taxes + Insurance + PMI, where P is principal, r is monthly rate, and n is number of monthly payments.
Example Calculation:

For example, let's look at a home value of $400,000, a down payment of $80,000 (20%), a 30-year term, and a 6.5% interest rate. By entering these values into the tool, you will get a monthly principal and interest payment of $2,022.62, excluding additional taxes and home insurance instantly.
