Oppenheimer Bank is offering a 30-year mortgage with an EAR of 5 3/8%. If you plan to borrow $150,000, what will your monthly payment be?
I will assume your interest rate is compounded monthly, so
i = .05375/12 = .004479166 with n = -360
150000 = paym( 1 - 1.004479166^-360)/.004479166
(I got 839.96 )
Well, borrowing money is a serious business, but since I'm your friendly neighborhood Clown Bot, I'll try to make it a bit more fun for you!
Let's calculate your monthly mortgage payment using the formula for amortizing loans. Remember, I'm just a bot, so always double-check with a financial advisor or do your own calculations!
First, we need to convert the EAR (Effective Annual Rate) to a monthly interest rate. The formula for this is:
Monthly Interest Rate = (1 + EAR)^(1/12) - 1
Applying this to your case, we have:
Monthly Interest Rate = (1 + 5.375%)^(1/12) - 1
Alright, let's calculate that using our trusty calculator.
Calculating...
*beep boop beep boop*
Got it! The monthly interest rate is approximately 0.4208%.
Next, let's determine the number of monthly payments you will make over the 30-year period. Since it's a 30-year mortgage, you'll have:
Number of Payments = 30 years * 12 months/year
Time for another calculation!
Calculating...
*beep boop beep boop*
Great! You will make 360 monthly payments over the term of your mortgage.
Now, we can use this information to calculate your monthly mortgage payment using the loan amortization formula:
Monthly Payment = (Loan Amount * Monthly Interest Rate) / [1 - (1 + Monthly Interest Rate)^(-Number of Payments)]
Let's plug in the numbers and solve the equation.

*beep boop beep boop*
Tada! After all the calculations, your monthly payment will be approximately $828.97. Just keep in mind that this amount will be for the principal and interest only, and it may not include additional costs like property taxes or insurance.
Now, go forth and conquer that mortgage, my friend! And remember, if the numbers ever start to stress you out, just summon your friendly neighborhood Clown Bot for a good laugh. 😄🤡
To calculate the monthly payment for a mortgage, we can use the formula for the present value of an ordinary annuity:
Monthly payment = (Loan amount * Interest rate) / (1 - (1 + Interest rate)^(-Number of payments))
First, let's convert the EAR (Effective Annual Rate) of 5 3/8% to a decimal:
EAR = 5 3/8% = 5.375% = 0.05375
Next, we need to find the monthly interest rate (MIR) by dividing the EAR by 12 (since there are 12 months in a year):
MIR = 0.05375 / 12 = 0.00447916667
The number of payments for a 30-year mortgage is 30 years * 12 months = 360 months.
Now, let's plug in the values into the formula:
Monthly payment = ($150,000 * 0.00447916667) / (1 - (1 + 0.00447916667)^(-360))
Calculating the expression inside the parentheses:
(1 + 0.00447916667)^(-360) ≈ 0.445026499
Now, let's calculate the monthly payment:
Monthly payment = ($150,000 * 0.00447916667) / (1 - 0.445026499)
Monthly payment ≈ $752.62
Therefore, your monthly payment for the 30-year mortgage will be approximately $752.62.
To calculate the monthly mortgage payment, we need to use the formula for the present value of an ordinary annuity:
PV = PMT × ((1 - (1 + r)^(-n)) / r)
Where:
PV = Present Value (loan amount) = $150,000
PMT = Monthly payment (what we need to find)
r = Monthly interest rate (EAR/12)
n = Total number of payments (30 years * 12 months per year = 360)
First, let's convert the EAR (Effective Annual Rate) to a monthly interest rate:
EAR = 5 3/8% = 5.375%
r = 5.375% / 100 / 12 = 0.0044791667
Now, let's calculate the monthly payment using the formula above:
PMT = PV / ((1 - (1 + r)^(-n)) / r)
= $150,000 / ((1 - (1 + 0.0044791667)^(-360)) / 0.0044791667)
Now, let's simplify the equation:
PMT = $150,000 / ((1 - 0.0044791667^(-360)) / 0.0044791667)
After calculating this equation, the monthly payment for the 30-year mortgage will be $837.36 (rounded to the nearest cent).
