I am interested in learning about calculating a monthly mortgage payment without being harrassed by loan companies. How do I figure out how much I can borrow? I know that I use the current rates I see listed in the newspaper, but is there a formula that banks use?
you can find it in tools on this website

hope this helps
I am searching for the best mortgage calculators. Interest Only calculators and simple home mortgage calculators and loan calculators. I used the ones at http://www.1mortgagecalculator.net/index2.php and they seem pretty good. Just looking for comparisons.
You may want to download free OpenOffice, which includes spreadsheet totally compatible with Microsoft Excel.
http://www.openoffice.org/ (version for Windows and version for Linux both are available to download).
There is a plenty of formulas and even macros suitable for any needs. Some macro could be downloaded from web sites of sharks.
The best solution could be also to not taking any loan at all. Saving account with 4.5% per annum, monthly payments and compound interest is your friend!!! In this way, bank gonna pay you, not vice versa. You cannot get loan with 4.5% interest, right?
So, it can get you your home in not so long time and sets you free. Your heart will be filled with joy and your kids will be grateful to you for not having any debts and financial obligations.
