Monthly loan payment on a $165,000 loan for 30 years with a 7% interest rate

Given:
Loan Amount: $165,000
Loan Terms: 30 years = 360 months = n  (convert years to months)
Interest Rate: 7% =
7/100
= 0.07 = r  (convert percent to a decimal)
Monthly Loan Payment Formula:
Monthly Loan Payment =  
Loan Amount  * 
r / 12
/ 1 – ( 1+
r/12
 ) -n

Substitute given values into Monthly Payment Formula:
Monthly Loan Payment =  
165,000  * 
0.07 / 12
/ 1 – ( 1+
0.07/12
 ) -360

Monthly Loan Payment =  $1,097.75  ( rounded to two decimal places)
Notes:
Total Cost =  Monthly Loan Payment * Number of Payments
Total Cost =  $1,097.75 * 360 =  $395,190
Interest Cost =  Total Cost – Loan Amount
Interest Cost =  $395,190 – $165,000 =  $230,190
Interest Cost is greater than the Loan Amount
