How do you calculate the total cost of a mortgage?
Note: This calculator only shows the total accrued loan cost for
the
principal and interest. This does not include other
additional costs
associated with insurance or taxes.
To calculate the total cost for the life of a mortgage loan use the
formula:
r = Monthly Interest Rate (in Decimal Form) =
(Yearly Interest Rate/100) / 12
P = Principal Amount on the Loan
N = Total # of Months for the loan ( Years on the loan x 12)
Example: The total cost for 30 year fixed
rate loan, with a principal
of $250,000, and a yearly
interest rate of 6.5%:
r = (6.5 / 100) / 12 = .005416667
P = 250,000
N = (30 x 12) = 60
The total cost for the life of the mortgage is $568,861.22.
