1. Convert
the effective interest rate from annual to monthly: 1.05375^(1/12) = 1.0043725
2. Monthly
interest = 0.43725%
3. Number
of payments = 360
4. Present
Value = $150,000
5. Monthly
payment = $828.02 (using a financial calculator).
If you do not have a financial calculator, you can use the
annuity formula:
Where:
§
A = periodic payment amount
§
P = amount of principal,
net of initial payments, meaning "subtract any down-payments"
§
i = periodic interest rate
§
n = total number of payments
For a 30-year loan with monthly
payments,
So A = $150,000 (0.0043725 + ) =
$828.02
