$600,000 mortgage payment by rate & term
The table below shows the estimated monthly payment (principal & interest only) for a $600,000 mortgage across common interest rates and loan terms.
| Rate | 15-year | 30-year |
|---|---|---|
| 5.00% | $4,745 | $3,221 |
| 5.50% | $4,903 | $3,407 |
| 6.00% | $5,063 | $3,597 |
| 6.50% | $5,227 | $3,792 |

For example, at 6.50% over 30 years, a $600,000 mortgage costs about $3,792/month. That's about $1,896/month more than a $300,000 mortgage at the same rate and term. Over the full 30 years you'd pay about $1,365,267 total - meaning roughly $765,267 of that, or 56% of every payment made, is interest on top of the $600,000 borrowed. Within the $100,000-$1,000,000 range this page series covers, $600,000 sits around the 67th percentile.
To comfortably afford a $600,000 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 $161,097/year. See the full income breakdown for a $600,000 house.
