20% down, 30-year fixed at 6.5%
$1,011/month (principal + interest)
Calculate the monthly mortgage payment on a $300,000 home loan with typical rates and terms.
$1,517/month (principal & interest)
With a 20% down payment on a $300,000 home, you'd borrow $240,000. At 6.5% over 30 years, the monthly P&I payment is $1,517. Add property taxes (~$250/mo), insurance (~$100/mo), and possibly PMI for total housing cost around $1,867/month.
20% down, 30-year fixed at 6.5%
$2,023/month (principal + interest)
Calculate monthly payments for a half-million dollar home purchase.
$2,528/month (principal & interest)
A $400,000 loan at 6.5% for 30 years costs $2,528/month in principal and interest. You'd need roughly $8,400/month gross income to comfortably afford this (using the 28% rule). Total monthly with taxes and insurance: ~$3,128.
Compare monthly payments and total interest between a 15-year and 30-year mortgage.
15-yr: $2,076/mo — 30-yr: $1,580/mo (save $102,240 in interest with 15-yr)
The 15-year mortgage saves $102,240 in total interest but costs $496 more per month. If you can afford the higher payment, the 15-year builds equity faster and costs far less overall.
