Monthly payment on a $1,000,000 mortgage
The monthly principal and interest payment on a $1,000,000 mortgage at 6.5% for 30 years is $6,320.68.
- Over the full 30 years you'd pay $1,275,445 in interest — $2,275,445 in total, or $1.28 of interest for every $1 borrowed.
- A 15-year loan at the same rate costs $8,711.07 a month — $2,390 more — but cuts total interest to $567,993, saving $707,452.
- Taxes and insurance come on top: using the Mortgage Calculator's defaults (1.1% property tax on a $1,250,000 home and $1,800 a year of insurance), the full monthly payment is about $7,616.51.
- On the 30-year schedule, principal first outpaces interest in year 20, and half the loan is repaid by the end of year 22.
- Lenders often cap housing costs at 28% of gross income; keeping principal and interest alone under that line takes about $270,886 a year — more once taxes and insurance are counted.

What this number includes
The $6,320.68 figure is principal and interest only — the part fixed for the life of a fixed-rate loan. It assumes a $1,000,000 loan, for example a $1,250,000 home with 20% down, so no private mortgage insurance applies.
$1,000,000 is above the baseline conforming loan limit the FHFA sets each year (a little over $800,000 in most counties), so in most of the U.S. it is a jumbo loan, with stricter down-payment, credit and cash-reserve requirements. In designated high-cost areas the limit is higher and it may still be conforming.
