What $150,000 over 25 years actually costs

On the annuity system — a fixed payment every month — you would pay $995 for 300 months, coming to $298,635 in all. Of that, $148,635 is interest: the loan costs 99% of what you borrowed, on top of the principal.

The constant-amortisation system starts higher and ends lower: $1,289 in the first month, $503 in the last. It pays $29,852 less interest overall, because the balance falls faster from the start. Whether you can afford the first payment is the only question that decides between them.

Both figures assume 6.5% a year for the whole term and no fees. A real offer adds insurance, administration and origination costs, which is why the number your bank quotes will be higher than this one — this page tells you the shape of the debt, not the final invoice.
