Monthly Mortgage Payment: $
A real estate calculator is a tool that helps you perform calculations related to buying or selling real estate properties. This can include calculating the monthly mortgage payment for a property based on the loan amount, interest rate, and mortgage term, or the total cost of buying a property including the down payment, closing costs, and other fees. Real estate calculators can be useful for both buyers and sellers, as they can help you determine how much you can afford to borrow or how much you can expect to receive for a property. They can also be used to compare different mortgage options and determine which one is the most cost-effective.

The formula for calculating the monthly mortgage payment for a real estate property is:
payment = loan * (rate * (1 + rate)^term) / ((1 + rate)^term - 1)
Where:
payment: the monthly mortgage payment
loan: the loan amount (property value minus down payment)
rate: the mortgage interest rate per month
term: the mortgage term in months
The loan amount is calculated by subtracting the down payment from the property value. The mortgage interest
rate per month is calculated by dividing the annual interest rate by 100 and then by 12 (since there are 12
months in a year). The mortgage term in months is calculated by multiplying the number of years by 12.
This formula uses the concept of compound interest, where the interest is added to the loan balance each month, and the payment is adjusted accordingly. This results in a slightly higher payment in the early months of the mortgage, and a lower payment in the later months. The total number of payments (term) is the number of months over which the mortgage will be paid off.
For example, if the property value is $300,000, the down payment is $60,000, the annual interest rate is 3.5%, and the mortgage term is 30 years (360 months), the monthly mortgage payment would be calculated as follows:
loan = 300,000 - 60,000 = 240,000
rate = 3.5 / 100 / 12 = 0.002917
payment = 240,000 * (0.002917 * (1 + 0.002917)^360) / ((1 + 0.002917)^360 - 1) = $1,073.64
