For example, at 6.50% over 30 years, a $200,000 mortgage costs about $1,264/month. That's about $632/month more than a $100,000 mortgage at the same rate and term - about $127,544 more in total interest paid over the full 30 years. Over the full 30 years you'd pay about $455,089 total - meaning roughly $255,089 of that, or 56% of every payment made, is interest on top of the $200,000 borrowed. Within the $100,000-$1,000,000 range this page series covers, $200,000 sits around the 14th percentile.
To comfortably afford a $200,000 home under the standard 28%-of-income guideline (20% down, 6.50% rate, including estimated property tax and insurance), you'd want a gross household income around $53,699/year. See the full income breakdown for a $200,000 house.

- Interest rate: on this $200,000 loan, a 0.5% rate bump (to 7.00%) adds about $66/month - real money compounded over 30 years.
- Term: switching this $200,000 loan to 15 years raises the payment by about $478/month but cuts total interest dramatically.
- Down payment: a bigger down payment lowers the amount financed and shrinks every number in the table above.
