Cómo Funciona Calculadora de Hipotecas
Para calcular una cuota mensual fija, convertimos la tasa de interés anual en mensual y aplicamos la fórmula de amortización sobre el capital del préstamo.
Análisis Matemático y Fórmulas
Para calcular el pago mensual fijo de la hipoteca, utilizamos la fórmula estándar de amortización bancaria considerando el interés compuesto y el número de cuotas.
P is the principal loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 months and 100), and n is the total number of monthly payments (years × 12).
Ejemplos Prácticos de Aplicación
Example 1: Sizing a $300,000 home loan at 4.5% interest over 30 years
- Principal (P): $300,000
- Monthly Interest (r): 4.5% ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.00375
- Total Months (n): 30 × 12 = 360
- Calculate Payment: $300,000 × [0.00375(1.00375)^360] ÷ [(1.00375)^360 - 1] = $1,520.06 per month
- Total Paid over life of loan: $547,221.60 (Interest cost: $247,221.60)

⚠ Errores Comunes a Evitar

Preguntas Frecuentes (FAQ)
Q: What is principal vs interest?
Principal is the money borrowed; interest is the bank's fee for lending you that money.
Q: Does a 15-year term save money compared to a 30-year term?
Yes, because the loan has a shorter duration, you accrue far less interest, saving tens of thousands of dollars.
