Comparisons
Let's use the average rate from mortgage news daily's website that I last saw at 6.5%
I think it's best to get this shock out of your system before you're further along.
Here's how it looks:
Mortgage Interest Total (principal + interest) $800,000 $1,020,356 $1,820,356 $775,000 $988,470 $1,763,470 $750,000 $956,584 $1,706,584 $725,000 $924,698 $1,649,698 $700,000 $892,811 $1,592,811 $675,000 $860,925 $1,535,925 $650,000 $829,039 $1,479,039 $625,000 $797,153 $1,422,153 $600,000 $765,267 $1,365,267 $575,000 $733,381 $1,308,381 $550,000 $701,495 $1,251,495 $525,000 $669,609 $1,194,609 $500,000 $637,722 $1,137,722 $475,000 $605,836 $1,080,836 $450,000 $573,950 $1,023,950 $425,000 $542,064 $967,064 $400,000 $510,178 $910,178 $375,000 $478,292 $853,292 $350,000 $446,406 $796,406 $325,000 $414,520 $739,520 $300,000 $382,633 $682,633 $275,000 $350,747 $625,747 $250,000 $318,861 $568,861 $225,000 $286,975 $511,975 $200,000 $255,089 $455,089 $175,000 $223,203 $398,203 $150,000 $191,317 $341,317 $125,000 $159,431 $284,431 $100,000 $127,544 $227,544
That makes it 44%/56% for principal and interest.
Fun little fact: a 5% rate gets you at about 50/50
