Explanation: This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize a loan over its remaining term at the new interest rate.
Details: Recalculating mortgage payments after rate changes is crucial for budgeting, financial planning, and understanding the impact of refinancing decisions or adjustable-rate mortgage adjustments.
Tips: Enter the principal amount in dollars, the new monthly interest rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.00417 for 5% annual rate), and the remaining loan term in months. All values must be positive.
Q1: How do I convert annual interest rate to monthly?
A: Divide the annual rate by 12. For example, 6% annual = 0.06/12 = 0.005 monthly rate.
Q2: What happens if I make extra payments?
A: Extra payments reduce the principal faster, which would change the calculation. This calculator assumes no additional payments.
Q3: Does this include property taxes and insurance?
A: No, this calculates only the principal and interest portion (P&I) of your mortgage payment.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides the standard mathematical calculation used by most lenders for fixed-rate mortgages.
Q5: Can I use this for other types of loans?
A: Yes, this formula works for any amortizing loan with fixed payments, including auto loans and personal loans.
