Frequently Asked Questions

How is the monthly payment calculated?

Standard amortization: M = P·r(1+r)^n/((1+r)^n−1). Example: $300,000 at 7% for 30 years (360 months, r=0.00583) → ≈$1,996/month, ≈$418,000 total interest — more interest than principal.

15-year vs 30-year — what's the real difference?

On $300k at 7%: 30-year pays ≈$1,996/mo and $418k interest; 15-year pays ≈$2,697/mo but only ≈$185k interest. The 15-year costs $700/mo more and saves $233k — if cash flow allows.

How much house can I afford?

The 28/36 rule: housing under 28% of gross monthly income, all debts under 36%. $8,000/mo income → ≈$2,240 housing budget → roughly a $335k loan at 7%/30yr before tax and insurance.

Does extra principal really help?

Yes disproportionately early: one extra $2,000 payment in year 1 of the example loan saves ≈$7,000 interest and cuts ~4 months. Late-loan extra payments save far less.
