A mortgage calculator helps users estimate monthly principal-and-interest payments before comparing loan options.
The standard fixed-rate mortgage formula is:
M = P × [r(1+r)^n] ÷ [(1+r)^n − 1]
Here:
- P is the loan principal
- r is the monthly interest rate
- n is the total number of monthly payments
The annual interest rate must be divided by 12, and the loan term in years must be multiplied by 12.
For example, a $300,000 loan at 6.5% annual interest for 30 years has an estimated principal-and-interest payment of about $1,896 per month.
Property taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and lender charges may increase the final payment.
