$1,000,000 mortgage payments by rate and term
| Rate | 30-year P&I | 20-year P&I | 15-year P&I | Total interest (30-yr) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.5% | $5,677.89 | $6,878.87 | $8,170.83 | $1,044,040 |
| 6.0% | $5,995.51 | $7,164.31 | $8,438.57 | $1,158,382 |
| 6.5% | $6,320.68 | $7,455.73 | $8,711.07 | $1,275,445 |
| 7.0% | $6,653.02 | $7,752.99 | $8,988.28 | $1,395,089 |
| 7.5% | $6,992.15 | $8,055.93 | $9,270.12 | $1,517,172 |
Two lessons hide in that table. First, the rate matters enormously: the spread between 5.5% and 7.5% on $1,000,000 is $1,314.26 every month. Second, the term is the biggest interest lever you control — the 15-year column pays the loan off in half the time for a fraction of the interest. Compare the two structures in depth with the 15 vs 30 year calculator.
What a $1,000,000 loan really costs per month
Principal and interest at 6.5%/30yr are $6,320.68. Add property taxes and insurance for a typical property at this price (roughly $1,125.00 a month combined, varying hugely by state — check yours in the state cluster) and the realistic bill lands near $7,445.68. Budget from that number, not the headline P&I.
