Suppose you make monthly mortgage payments of $1,345 and have 10 years left on the mortgage (next payment due next month). Assuming a 3.6% stated annual interest rate for the mortgage, how much would you need today to pay off the mortgage? ​

Sagot :

I will need $1,61,884.2 to pay off the mortgage.

This problem is related to simple interest and we have to calculate the amount after 10 years which is payable in the form of mortgage.

The monthly mortgage payment is $1,345.

Rate of interest is 3.6% per annum.

Time is given to be 10 years.

Simple interest for 10 years = 1345×3.6×10/100

                                            = $ 484.2

So, the total money required to clear the mortgage

= $(1345×12×10) + $ 484.2

= $161400 + $484.2

= $ 1,61,884.2
