Question

It is likely that you won’t like the prospect of paying more money each month, but if you do take out a 15-year mortgage, you will make far fewer payments and will pay a lot less in interest. How much more total interest will you pay over the life of the loan if you take out a 30-year mortgage instead of a 15-year mortgage?.

Answer 1

Based on the amount borrowed and the term of the loan, the amount more that you will pay in total interest over the life of the loan with the 30-year mortgage is $1,079,892.

How much more interest is paid?

The total payment to be made on the 30-year mortgage is:

= 7,200.29 x 30 years x 12 months per year

= $2,592,000

Total interest paid in 30-year mortgage:

= 2,592,000 - 700,000 amount borrowed

= $1,892,000

The total payment to be made on the 15-year mortgage is:

= 8,401.18 x 15 x 12

= $1,512,212.40

Total interest paid in 15-year mortgage:

= 1,512,212.40 - 700,000

= $812,212.40

The total interest that was paid more with the 30 year mortgage than the 15 year mortgage is:

= 1,892,000 - 812,212.40

= $1,079,892

Rest of the question is:

Your friends suggest that you take a 15-year mortgage, because a 30-year mortgage is too long and you will pay a lot of money on interest. If your bank approves a 15-year, $700,000 loan at a fixed nominal interest rate of 12% (APR).
