How to Use the Mortgage Calculator

Using this mortgage calculator is simple. Start by entering the total loan amount you plan to borrow — this is the purchase price minus your down payment. Next, input the annual interest rate your lender has quoted (or a current market rate if you're shopping around). Finally, choose your loan term in years — typically 15, 20, or 30 years for most home loans.

Click "Calculate" and you'll instantly see your monthly payment (principal and interest only). The calculator also shows the total amount you'll pay over the full loan term and the total interest you'll pay over the life of the loan.

Try adjusting the interest rate or loan term to see how even small changes affect your monthly payment. A lower rate or shorter term means less interest paid overall.

Mortgage Payment Formula

The monthly payment is calculated using the standard amortization formula:

M = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n − 1]

Where: M = monthly payment, P = loan principal, r = monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12), and n = total number of monthly payments (term × 12).

This calculator shows principal and interest only. Your actual monthly payment may also include property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and PMI if your down payment is less than 20%.
A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but much less total interest. A 30-year mortgage has lower monthly payments but costs more in interest over time. Choose based on your budget and financial goals.
Most lenders approve mortgages where the monthly payment is no more than 28-31% of your gross monthly income. Your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and down payment also affect how much you can borrow.
