•1. Find the appropriate interest rate from the chart above.

•2. Look across the column to the appropriate term to determine your interest rate factor.

•3. Multiply the interest rate factor by your loan amount in $1,000s.

An Example

Interest Rate = 6 ½

Desired term = 15 years

Interest rate factor per $1,000 = 8.71

Mortgage = $200,000

Monthly Principal & Interest = $1,742 (8.71 x 200)

Add your monthly insurance premium and your property tax to your principal and interest to determine your total monthly payment.
