$800,000 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% | $4,542.31 | $5,503.10 | $6,536.67 | $835,232 |
| 6.0% | $4,796.40 | $5,731.45 | $6,750.85 | $926,706 |
| 6.5% | $5,056.54 | $5,964.59 | $6,968.86 | $1,020,356 |
| 7.0% | $5,322.42 | $6,202.39 | $7,190.63 | $1,116,071 |
| 7.5% | $5,593.72 | $6,444.75 | $7,416.10 | $1,213,738 |
Two lessons hide in that table. First, the rate matters enormously: the spread between 5.5% and 7.5% on $800,000 is $1,051.40 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 $800,000 loan really costs per month
Principal and interest at 6.5%/30yr are $5,056.54. Add property taxes and insurance for a typical property at this price (roughly $900.00 a month combined, varying hugely by state — check yours in the state cluster) and the realistic bill lands near $5,956.54. Budget from that number, not the headline P&I.
