The mortgage that will give the lowest monthly payment is EMI1 which translates to $ 1,708.16; and method one will require payment of the highest interest.

What is mortgage?

A mortgage is an arrangement between you and a lender that provides the lender the right to repossess your property if you fail to repay the loan plus interest.

Mortgage loans are used to purchase a property or to borrow money against the value of an existing home.

What is the calculation for the above?

Given that:

Total amount = $525,000

Down payment = 20% = 0.2

Method 1: Time is 30 years and rate is 2.72%

Method 2: Time is 15 years  and the rate is 2.25%

Loan amount  = total amount less down-payment

= 525,000  - (0.2 * 525,000)

= $420, 000

Using Method 1

Given that t = 30 year or 360 months

r = 2.72% or 0.0272

EMI1 =  [ 420, 000 * (0.0272/12) * ( 1 + (0.0272/12)³⁶⁰]/ [( 1 + (0.0272/12)³⁶⁰ -1]

= [952  * 2.259]/1.259

EMI1 = $ 1,708.16

Using Method 2

t = 15 years or 180 months

Rate = 2.25% or 0.0225

EMI2 =  [420,000 * (0.0225/12) * ( 1 + (0.0225/12)¹⁸⁰]/ [( 1 + (0.0225/12)¹⁸⁰ --1]

= [787.5 * 1.401]/0.401

EMI2 = $2,751.34

Assuming you take the full term of the mortgage, which mortgage will result in you paying the most interest?

Method 1

Interest = EMI1 x total months - loan amount

=  1,708.16 x 360 - 420,000

= $194, 937.6

Method 2

Interest = EMI2 x total months - loan amount

2,751.34 x 180 - 420,000

= $75,241.2

From the above method 1 requires the highest interest.
