Worked example
At 6.5% for 30 years, r = 6.5 ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.0054167 and n = 360, so the payment is $2,212.24 a month and you would pay $446,406 in interest over the loan. A 15-year term raises the payment to $3,048.88 but cuts interest to $198,798, saving $247,608.
Buying a $350,000 house vs borrowing $350,000
If $350,000 is the price and you put 20% down, you borrow $280,000: $1,769.79 a month at 6.5% (30 years). Borrowing $350,000 with 20% down means a home price of about $437,500.
Under the traditional 28% guideline (housing cost ≤ 28% of gross income), a $2,212.24 principal-and-interest payment alone suggests a gross income of about $94,810 a year; taxes and insurance push that higher.
