FAQ
What is the monthly payment on a $1,000,000 mortgage at 8.50% for 30 years?
Principal and interest alone is $7,689 per month. Adding the U.S. average property tax (1.1% of home value) and homeowners insurance ($2,200/year) brings the realistic monthly housing cost to about $9,018 on a $1,250,000 home with 20% down.
How much interest will I pay on a $1,000,000 loan at 8.50%?
You will pay about $1,768,089 in interest over 30 years, on top of the $1,000,000 principal. Choosing a 15-year term instead cuts total interest to roughly $772,531 but raises the monthly payment.
What salary do I need for a $1,000,000 mortgage?
Using the 28% rule (housing costs no more than 28% of gross income), a $9,018 monthly payment points to an income of around $386,000 per year, assuming no other debt. Lenders also apply the 36% back-end ratio that includes car loans, student loans and credit cards.
