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?
APR(monthly) = 12[(1 + 0.0299/2)¹/⁶ - 1] = 2.97%
Loan Amount = 0.80(423,500) = $338,800
Calculating Monthly Payment,
Using TVM Calculation,
PMT = [FV = 0, PV = 338,800, N = 300, I = 0.0297/12]
PMT = $1,601.35
