In this project we will examine a home loan or mortgage. Assume that you have found a home
for sale and have agreed to a purchase price of $201,000.
Down Payment: You are going to make a 10% down payment on the house. Determine the
amount of your down payment and the balance to finance.

The amount you pay for the principal goes up while the amount you pay in interest
goes down the longer you pay.
Number of first payment when more of payment goes toward principal than interest _194___
As already mentioned, these payments are for principal and interest only. You will also have
monthly payments for home insurance and property taxes. In addition, it is helpful to have
money left over for those little luxuries like electricity, running water, and food. As a wise home
owner, you decide that your monthly principal and interest payment should not exceed 35% of
your monthly take-home pay. What minimum monthly take-home pay should you have in order
to meet this goal? Show your work for making this calculation.

It is also important to note that your net or take-home pay (after taxes) is less than your gross pay
(before taxes). Assuming that your net pay is 73% of your gross pay, what minimum gross
annual salary will you need to make to have the monthly net salary stated above? Show your
work for making this calculation.

Assuming that you can sell the house for this amount, use the following information to calculate
your gains or losses:
Selling price of your house ___$299.856.76________
Original down payment ___$20,100______
Mortgage paid over the ten years ___$116,202______
The principal balance on your loan after ten years ____$64,698_______
Do you gain or lose money over the 10 years? How much? Show your amounts and summarize
your results:

Use the amortization spreadsheet on the web again, this time entering the interest rate and
number of payments for a 15 year loan.
Amortization Schedule monthly payment for a 15 year mortgage _

(Note: if this is more than 2 or 3 cents different from your calculation, check your numbers!)
Total interest paid over 15 years___$158,226.97_________
Total amount paid___$339,126.97__________
Number of first payment when more of payment goes toward principal than interest __185___
Suppose you paid an additional $100 towards the principal each month. How long would it take
to pay off the loan with this additional payment and how will this affect the total amount of
interest paid on the loan? [If you are making extra payments towards the principal, include it in
the monthly payment and leave the number of payments box blank.]
Length of time to pay off loan with additional payments of $100 per month__$1,2457_________
Total interest paid over the life of the loan with additional $100 monthly payments__124,606.84_
Total amount paid with additional $100 monthly payments_
305506.84______
Compare this total amount paid to the total amount paid without extra monthly payments. How
much more or less would you spend if you made the extra principal payments?

Yeah! I didnt realize how much people actually end up paying for a house once
everything is said and done. It makes me want to save up as much as I can for a
down payment so I dont end up paying 92% of the original cost of the home in
interest.
