Formula for Calculating a Mortgage Payment Amount: c = the monthly principal and interest payment amount P = the principal balance of the loan r = the interest rate ÷ 12 N = the number of principal and interest payments
Example 1: You obtain a $200,000 mortgage loan at a rate of 5.25%. The loan is to be repaid over a 30 year period. What is the monthly principal and interest payment amount for the loan?
