UNDERSTAND THE ANSWER

How is this calculated?

Each month’s interest equals the opening balance times the monthly rate. The rest of the scheduled payment plus any extra amount reduces principal.

Fixed-rate amortizationPayment = P × [r(1 + r)ⁿ] ÷ [(1 + r)ⁿ − 1]

A practical example

A $300,000 loan at 6.5% for 30 years requires about $1,896 monthly before taxes, insurance and fees.

Calculation assumptions

  • The interest rate and required payment remain fixed.
  • Payments occur monthly beginning on the selected date.
  • Extra payments are applied to principal each month without fees or penalties.
