Let’s take a look:
- Loan amount: $400,000
- Down payment: 10%
Monthly principal & interest:
- 30-year mortgage → about $2,300
- 50-year mortgage → about $2,000
So yes, there’s a small monthly savings but wait for it…
- Total payments (30-year loan): $438,156
- Total payments (50-year loan): $816,396
That’s a big difference over time a reminder that a lower monthly payment doesn’t always mean a better deal.
