- At 7.79% the monthly payment ballooned to $718.19.
At the current rate of 6.63%, the payment is $641.16. That represents a 59% or $238.47 increase versus the low in 2021.
The good news is that at the high rate, the payment would have been $315.50 higher per month or 78.4% from the low.
Either way at 663%, the monthly payment is still a healthy difference from at the lows.
