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:
-
Loan Amount: The loan amount is 100,000.
-
Interest Rate: The interest rate is 4.5% per year.
-
Loan Term: The loan term is 30 years, or 360 months.
-
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
-
-
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.[
