Understanding Mortgage Payment Calculations

Calculating your mortgage payment is essential for home buying decisions. The monthly payment depends on the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term.

The Mortgage Payment Formula

M = P × [r(1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]

Where: M = Monthly payment, P = Principal loan amount, r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12), n = Number of payments (years × 12)
