Mortgage Calculation

Posts: 32 Forumite
Hi all
I have an interest only mortgage with Northern Rock for £63220 over 25 years. The rate is 4.69%.
They have sent me their formula for calculating the monthly payment which I can not understand:
B=Balance
R= Rate/12
VG = 1/(1+R)
This gives montly payment = (£63200 * 0.0469/12) * (1/(1+(0.0469/12)))
=£246.13
However, I do understand the meaning of the above formula.
I can not understand why they do not use the formula B*R
which gives: £63220 * 0.0469/12 = £247.09
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Many thanks indeed!
