House payments work the exact same way except banks usually give you 15 to 30 years to pay it off. What would your monthly payment be on a house if you took a loan out for $85,000 with an APR of 7.1% and you were going to pay it back over a term of 30 years on a monthly basis?

(Also, with houses you can expect to pay another $100 - $300 per month in taxes and insurance depending on where you live and the price of the house.)

Using simple interest, it is found that the monthly payments are of $739.00.

Simple Interest

Simple interest is used when there is a single compounding per time period.

The amount of money after t years in is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + rt)[/tex]

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial amount.
  • r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

In this problem:

  • The loan is of A(0) = 85000.
  • The rate is of r = 0.071.
  • The term is for 30 years, hence t = 30.

Then, the total amount will be of:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + rt)[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 85000[1 + 30(0.071)][/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 266050[/tex]

In 30 x 12 = 360 monthly payments, hence:

266050/360 = 739.

The monthly payments are of $739.00.
