By using the nifty tables in this appendix, you can estimate mortgage payments for the most frequently used loan terms ranging from 5 to 30 years and interest rates covering the spectrum from a lusciously low 3 percent all the way up to 18 percent. The amounts shown in these tables indicate how much you’d pay each month to fully repay a $100,000 loan by the end of the indicated term. You can, however, use the tables to calculate the monthly payment for any loan amount by using the following formula:
Example #1: If you get a $250,000, 30-year mortgage at 8.25 percent interest, your monthly principal and interest payment will be
Example #2: If you get a $60,000, 20-year mortgage at 12 percent interest, your monthly principal and interest payment will be
