To calculate the monthly mortgage payment, total interest paid, and total payments over the 30-year loan term, we can use the following step-by-step process:

  1. Loan Amount: The loan amount is 100,000.

  2. Interest Rate: The interest rate is 4.5% per year.

  3. Loan Term: The loan term is 30 years, or 360 months.

  4. Monthly Payment Calculation:

    • The monthly payment formula is: P = L[c(1+c)^n]/[(1+c)^n-1]

    • Where:

      • P = monthly payment
      • L = loan amount
      • c = monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
      • n = number of payments (years x 12)
    • Plugging in the values:

      • c = 4.5% / 12 = 0.00375
      • n = 30 x 12 = 360
    • The monthly payment is calculated as: $500,000 * [0.00375 * (1 + 0.00375)^360] / [(1 + 0.00375)^360 - 1] = $2,032.98

  5. Total Interest Paid:

    • Total interest paid = Total payments - Loan amount
    • Total payments = 731,472.80
    • Total interest paid = 500,000 = $231,472.80

Therefore, the monthly mortgage payment is 231,472.80, and the total payments made over the life of the loan is $731,472.80.[
