Land Mortgage Calculator

Work out the monthly payment on a land purchase loan, with down payment and term built in.

How to use this calculator

Enter the land price, your down payment, the interest rate, and the loan term. The calculator shows the monthly principal-and-interest payment, the total interest, and how the down payment changes your monthly cost.

The formula

Loan amount = price − down payment. Monthly payment uses the standard amortization formula: M = L × r(1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1), where r is the monthly rate (annual ÷ 12) and n the number of payments.

Land loans are different

Expect larger down payments (often 20–35%), shorter terms (frequently 5–20 years), and rates above home mortgages, because raw land is harder collateral. Compare scenarios by changing the term and rate fields.
