What a $2,000,000 balance costs in pure interest

At 6.5%, interest alone on $2,000,000 runs about $10,833.33 per month — roughly $356.16 every day. That's the number amortization slowly kills: each payment shrinks the balance, so each month a little less goes to interest and a little more to principal. See the month-by-month schedule, or try our daily interest calculator for per-diem closing math.

Don't forget the rest of the payment

Principal and interest is the floor, not the payment. A realistic budget adds property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, and — under 20% down — mortgage insurance, which our full calculator prices the way a lender does: FHA and USDA from the official tables, VA's funding fee, and conventional PMI by credit score.
