Comparison of Monthly Mortgage Payments

$150,000 home with 30-year mortgage at 8%, 0 points, 20% down $120,000 = PMT(PVIFA 8%/12, 30 12 ) PMT = $120,000/136.2835 = $880.52

$150,000 home with 15-year mortgage at 8%, 0 points, 20% down

$120,000 = PMT(PVIFA 8%/12, 15 12 )

PMT = $120,000/104.6406 = $1146.78
