Monthly loan payment on a $250,000 loan for 15 years with a 7% interest rate

Given:
Loan Amount: $250,000
Loan Terms: 15 years = 180 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 =  
250,000  * 
0.07 / 12
/ 1 – ( 1+
0.07/12
 ) -180

Monthly Loan Payment =  $2,247.07  ( rounded to two decimal places)
Notes:
Total Cost =  Monthly Loan Payment * Number of Payments
Total Cost =  $2,247.07 * 180 =  $404,472.60
Interest Cost =  Total Cost – Loan Amount
Interest Cost =  $404,472.60 – $250,000 =  $154,472.60
