This basic mortgage calculator helps you estimate your monthly mortgage payment based on your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term.

Mortgage Payment Formula

Monthly Payment = Loan Amount × Interest Rate / (1 – (1 + Interest Rate)^-Loan Term)

Example Calculation

$300,000 loan, 3.5% interest rate, 30 years → $1,347.13 monthly payment.

Why It Matters

Understanding your monthly mortgage payment helps you plan your finances better.

Smart Strategy

Shorten your loan term for lower total interest, or consider a larger down payment for lower monthly payments.

FAQs

What is a good mortgage interest rate? Rates under 4% are typically considered good, though they vary based on your credit score and market conditions.

Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage? A 15-year mortgage will save you money on interest but will have higher monthly payments. Choose based on your budget.
