15-7 Computing the Monthly Payment for Principal and Interest Sara Wilson bought a home for $160,000. She made a $20,000 down payment. The mortgage is for 30 years and has a rate of 8%. What are the monthly payment and total cost of interest?

15-8 Step 2. Look up the rate (8%) and the term (30 years) in the amortization chart. At the intersection is the table factor. ($7.34) Step 3. Multiply Step 1 by the factor in Step 2 $140 x $7.34 = $1, Step 1. Divide the amount of the mortgage by $1,000 $140,000 = $140 $1,000 Computing Monthly Payment by Using an Amortization Chart

15-9 Computing the Monthly Payment for Principal and Interest $140,000 = 140 x $7.34 (table rate) = $1, $1,000 Total payments Mortgage Total interest $369,936 - $140,000 = $229,936 ($1, x 360) Monthly Payment 30 Year Fixed Rate Mortgage

15-13 Step 2. Calculate the amount used to reduce the principal: Principal reduction = Monthly payment - Interest (Step 1.) $1, $ = $94.27 Step 3. Calculate the new principal: Current principal - Reduction of principal (Step 2) = New Principal $140,000 - $94.27 = $139, Step 1. Calculate the interest for a month (use current principal): Interest = Principal x Rate x Time $140,000 x.08 x 1/12 = $ Calculating Interest, Principal, and New Balance of Monthly Payment

15-14 Step 2. Principal reduction = Monthly payment - Interest (Step 1.) $1, $ = $94.90 Step 3. Current Principal - Reduction of principal (Step 2) = New Principal $139, $94.90 = $139, Step 1. Interest = Principal x Rate x Time $139, x.08 x 1/12 = $ Calculating Interest, Principal, and New Balance of Monthly Payment 2nd Month
