How is your payment calculated?

This calculator uses the French Amortization System. In this system, your monthly payments remain constant, but their composition changes: initially, you pay mostly interest, and towards the end, mostly principal.

The Math Formula

M = P
r(1 + r)n (1 + r)n - 1
P
P = Loan Amount (Principal)
r
r = Monthly Interest Rate
n
n = Total Number of Payments (months)

Key Terms

Financial Tips

  • Term matters: A 15-year loan has higher monthly payments than a 30-year one, but you will pay significantly less total interest.
  • Increase Down Payment: Putting more money down reduces your loan amount and monthly payment immediately.
  • Extra Payments: If possible, make extra payments towards the principal to shorten the loan life.
