Mortgage $306,000 · fixed at 6.66% for the life of the loan
This rate holds for the whole loan. This is the payment you would actually make, plus PMI while it applies, billed alongside it rather than added to the loan.
PMI cancels in year 10, removing $191 a month from every payment after that.
Your rate holds at this figure until the loan is paid off — a US mortgage has one fixed rate for its whole term and never reprices.
Total paid over the loan $729,147
Interest plus the insurance premium is the true price of borrowing. It is not part of the house; it is what the house costs to finance.
Paid off in year 30
Interest dominates the early years and principal the later ones — that shift is what this chart shows.
