Mortgage Payment Formula – PMT Equation

The mortgage payment formula calculates the fixed monthly principal-and-interest payment for an amortizing loan. It is the same formula used for any fixed-rate amortizing debt — auto loans, personal loans, and student loans included. Understanding it lets you sanity-check any quoted payment and see exactly how much extra you'd save by paying down principal early.
