About this scenario

Half-million-dollar mortgages at 7% illustrate how rate shocks affect high-cost housing markets. The payment rises quickly with both principal and rate, so small APR differences matter on large balances.

Disclaimer: estimates only, not a loan offer or financial advice. Rates, fees, and eligibility vary by lender and borrower profile.

Method & sources

Monthly payments use the standard amortisation formula M = P × r(1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1), where P is the amount borrowed, r is the annual rate ÷ 12 and n is the number of monthly payments. Interest is assumed fixed for the whole term with no fees, so an APR that includes origination fees will produce a slightly higher real cost.
