The cash paid down is = 20% * $329,000 = 65,800

The balance to paid in mortgage arrangement is equal to

$329,000 - $65,800 = 263200

To work out the monthly installment we divide the balance by the monthly annuity factor

Monthly payment = $263,200 / monthly annuity factor

Monthly annuity factor = ((1 - (1+r) ^ (-n)) / r)

r - monthly interest rate, n - number of months.

r = 6.25%/12 = 0.521%

n = 25 * 12 = 300

Monthly annuity factor = (1 - (1.0052) ^ (-300)) / 0.0052

= 151.5910

Monthly mortgage payment

= $263200/151.5910

= $1736.2

Monthly mortgage payment = $1736.2
