Worked example

P&I: $2,107.52 · Monthly PITI: $2,632.52 · Loan: $320,000.00

How it’s solved

Worked on the example above, step by step — follow along and you can do it on paper next time, no tool required.

  1. PITI is the true monthly housing cost: Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance bundled together.
  2. Loan amount = price − down payment
    $400,000.00 − $80,000.00 = $320,000.00
  3. Monthly rate and number of payments
    6.9 ÷ 100 ÷ 12 = 0.00575 ; 30 × 12 = 360
  4. Principal & interest via the amortization formula
    = $2,107.52
  5. Add monthly tax and insurance (each annual figure ÷ 12)
    $2,107.52 + $4,800.00 ÷ 12 + $1,500.00 ÷ 12 = $2,632.52
