๐Ÿ“ Mortgage Formula

The principal and interest payment follows the standard amortization formula:

M = P ร— r(1+r)n (1+r)nโˆ’1

Total Monthly Housing Cost = Principal & Interest + Property Tax/12 + Insurance/12 + HOA + PMI.

๐Ÿ’ก Smart Mortgage Strategies

  • Improving down payment lowers LTV, which can reduce interest rate and eliminate PMI sooner.
  • Even modest monthly overpayments can cut years off your mortgage and save large interest costs.
  • Review insurance and property tax annually, as they materially affect monthly affordability.
  • Refinance only when total refinancing costs are justified by long-term interest savings.
