Well, isn't that just a happy little question? To round 8.44 to the nearest whole number, we look at the decimal part, which is .44. Since .44 is closer to .5 than to .0, we round 8.44 up to 9. And just like that, we've created a beautiful whole number!

How do you calculate mortgage payments with a plain calculator?

You can do it, but it isn't exactly straight forward. Here is the basic formula that you will need to follow:M = P * (i / (1 - (1+i)^-T))M - is the monthly paymentP - is the principlei - is the monthly interestT - is the termSo, we buy a house for $200,000 with a 3% interest rate, and the term of the mortgage is 30 years (360 months)Convert the interest from percentage to decimal, and then to monthly.3% divided by 100 = 0.03 and then 0.03 divided by 12 months = 0.0025So i = 0.0025Add in your Term, in this case it is 30 years (30x12=360 months)T=360Break the calculations into sections, doing the innermost parenthesis firstM = P * (0.0025 / (1 - (1+0.0025)^-360))(1+0.0025) = 1.0025M = P * (0.0025 / (1 - (1.0025)^-360))This next part is the most complex. You have to deal with a negative exponent. 1.0025 to the -360 power. To do this you have to convert the negative to a positive.On your scientific calculator, you will need to use the button that has an X with a small y above it. This is the "power" or exponent button.Enter 1.0025 xy 360 = 2.45684Then divide 1 by 2.45684 = 0.40703The rest is relatively simpleM = P * (0.0025 / (1 - 0.40703))1 - 0.40703 = 0.59297M = P * (0.0025 / 0.59297)0.0025 Divided by 0.59297 = 0.00422P is our principle, which is $200,000. Multiplying 200,000 by 0.0042 will give us a monthly mortgage payment of $844M = $844 per month
