Plain-language method

Finance the price left after your down payment.

The mortgage principal is the home price minus the down payment. A standard amortisation formula then spreads principal and interest across equal monthly payments.

This result isolates the loan itself. A real housing payment may also include property taxes, insurance, association fees, mortgage insurance, and lender charges.

Payment = P × (r(1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1))
