How is a mortgage calculated?

Here’s what you need to know in order to calculate your monthly payment on a mortgage without the Texas Mortgage Calculator. First, you need to find out the principal amount. The principal is the amount you are borrowing or the amount that you still owe on a loan. This amount is separate from interest. In addition to the principal you will also need to know the interest rate. These rates can be either fixed, adjustable, or variable depending upon the nature of the loan. A fixed interest rate does not change for the duration of the mortgage. This can be advantageous to the borrower when you anticipate interest rates to increase. An adjustable rate mortgage has a varying interest rate that changes according to a predetermined benchmark. It is common to have a fixed rate for a given period of time. After this period it is common to have rates that vary on a monthly basis. Variable rate mortgages are similar to adjustable rates in that they change based on a given index or underlying benchmark rate. This type of interest rate is advantageous to the borrower if they anticipate that interest rates will decrease over time. You must also know the number of monthly payments you plan to make. We will refer to the monthly payment as “M”, the principal amount as “P”, the interest rate as “i”, and the number of monthly payments as “n”. Once you have determined this, the monthly payment is calculated with the following formula: M = P[i(1+i)^n]/[(1+i)^n -1]

However, if you are looking to save money, try this calculation:
