Kate is applying to the Bank of Montreal for a mortgage of $423,500. The bank is quoting 2.99% semi annually. She would like to have a 25-yar amortization period and wants to make payments monthly. However, she must pay 20% down payment to avoid additional bank insurance. What will Kate’s monthly payment be?
Loan amount to be taken = 423500 - Down payment
= 423500 - 423500 * 20%
= 423500 - 84700
= 338800
Semi annual interest rate is 2.99% Hence the monthly interst rate = 2.99%/6 = 0.4983%
No of months 25 Years * 12 months per year = 300 months
EMI = Loan Amount / PVAF (r%, n)
Where r is Int rate per Month & n is No. of Months
= $ 338800 / PVAF (0.005 , 300)
= $ 338800 / 155.5018
= $ 2178.75
Kate monthly payments are 2178.75
How to calculate PVAF using Excel:
=PV(Rate,NPER,-1)
Rate = Disc Rate
NPER = No.of periods
