Payoff Logic

Mortgage Payments by Loan Amount

Reading this table like a lender

Two patterns worth noticing. First, payments scale exactly linearly with the amount — $632 per $100,000 at this rate — so you can interpolate any loan size in your head. Second, the 15-year payment is only about 38% higher than the 30-year at the same rate, yet finishes in half the time; that gap is why the 15-vs-30 comparison deserves five minutes before you commit. To go from a payment budget to a price, use the affordability calculator; to see your state's taxes and insurance on top, the state pages have you covered.
