How the payment is worked out

Lenders use the standard loan formula. The yearly rate of 5 percent becomes a monthly rate of 0.4167 percent. The term of 10 years becomes 120 payments. The payment is the loan of $350,000 times the monthly rate, divided by one minus one over the growth factor, where the growth factor is one plus the monthly rate, multiplied by itself 120 times.
