Formula Used

M = P × [ r(1 + r)n ] / [ (1 + r)n − 1 ]
P
โ€” principal (home price minus down payment)
r
โ€” monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12 / 100)
n
โ€” total number of monthly payments (years × 12)

Example: A $280,000 loan (after a $70,000 down payment on a $350,000 home) at 7% for 30 years gives a monthly rate of 0.005833 and 360 payments, yielding a monthly payment of about $1,862.
