Determine the amount of your down payment and the balance to finance. Down Payment Loan Amount = = $ $ Monthly Payment: Calculate the monthly payment for a 30 year loan (rounding to the nearest cent, so rounding to two decimal places). For the 30 year loan use an annual interest rate of 4.33 %. First, express the annual interest rate as a decimal. The annual interest rate expressed as a decimal is d Now use the loan formula to find the monthly payment, d. The loan formula solved for d is: Po(E) (1-(1 + ) **) Nk Po is the original loan amount. r is the annual interest rate in decimal form. k is the number of compounding periods in one year (so k = 12). N is the length of the loan in years. Monthly Payment: d = $ Assuming you make the monthly payment each month for 30 years, what will be the total amount. repaid? Total payments $ Find the total amount of interest paid over the 30 years. To do so, subtract the amount originally borrowed from the total payments.
