What is the monthly payment on a $500,000 mortgage?

At the current 30-year fixed average of 7.28 percent, a $500,000 mortgage costs about $3,421 a month in principal and interest. Over a 15-year term at 6.60 percent the payment rises to roughly $4,383. Property taxes, homeowner insurance and any PMI or HOA dues are added on top of these figures.

How much interest will I pay on a $500,000 mortgage?

A 30-year $500,000 mortgage at 7.28 percent costs about $731,582 in total interest — more than the amount borrowed. Choosing a 15-year term at 6.60 percent cuts that to roughly $288,953, a saving of about $442,629, in exchange for a higher monthly payment.

What income do I need for a $500,000 mortgage?

Lenders commonly want your total housing payment to stay under 28 percent of gross monthly income. On that rule the $3,421 payment for a $500,000 mortgage implies an income of roughly $146,617 a year before tax — and more once you add property taxes and insurance, which the 28 percent test also counts.

What house price does a $500,000 mortgage buy?

It depends on your down payment. Borrowing $500,000 with 20 percent down corresponds to a purchase price of about $625,000, while 10 percent down puts the price near $555,556. A down payment below 20 percent on a conventional loan also adds PMI until you reach 20 percent equity.

How much does the interest rate change a $500,000 payment?

A great deal. On a 30-year term each quarter-point of rate moves the payment on a $500,000 mortgage by roughly $85 a month. The table on this page prices the loan from 5.00 percent to 8.00 percent so you can see the full range before you lock a rate.

$500,000 mortgage FAQ

What is the monthly payment on a $500,000 mortgage?: At the current 30-year fixed average of 7.28 percent, a $500,000 mortgage costs about $3,421 a month in principal and interest. Over a 15-year term at 6.60 percent the payment rises to roughly $4,383. Property taxes, homeowner insurance and any PMI or HOA dues are added on top of these figures.
How much interest will I pay on a $500,000 mortgage?: A 30-year $500,000 mortgage at 7.28 percent costs about $731,582 in total interest — more than the amount borrowed. Choosing a 15-year term at 6.60 percent cuts that to roughly $288,953, a saving of about $442,629, in exchange for a higher monthly payment.
What income do I need for a $500,000 mortgage?: Lenders commonly want your total housing payment to stay under 28 percent of gross monthly income. On that rule the $3,421 payment for a $500,000 mortgage implies an income of roughly $146,617 a year before tax — and more once you add property taxes and insurance, which the 28 percent test also counts.
What house price does a $500,000 mortgage buy?: It depends on your down payment. Borrowing $500,000 with 20 percent down corresponds to a purchase price of about $625,000, while 10 percent down puts the price near $555,556. A down payment below 20 percent on a conventional loan also adds PMI until you reach 20 percent equity.
How much does the interest rate change a $500,000 payment?: A great deal. On a 30-year term each quarter-point of rate moves the payment on a $500,000 mortgage by roughly $85 a month. The table on this page prices the loan from 5.00 percent to 8.00 percent so you can see the full range before you lock a rate.
