A payment on a 40 year loan, if it is a fixed-rate loan, will be smaller, provided all other factors like loan balance and interest rate are the same. If you are talking about an adjustable rate loan, well, your payment will vary on your interest rate more than how long the loan term is. A 40 year loan will pay-down your loan slower, meaning at 10 years, you'll owe more on a 40 year loan than a 30 year loan. You may also pay more towards interest on a 40 year loan.

A fixed rate mortgage is a loan to buy a house and/or property in which the interest rate charged is 'fixed' or does not change.

What is the average mortgage payment on 130000?

I don't think there is a such a thing as an average mortgage payment on any given dollar amount. The principal and interest payment depends on several factors besides the loan amount, primarily the interest rate and loan term(length of the loan). To keep it simple, a 130,000 mortgage at 4.5% for 30 years would be $658.69 for your principal and interest payment. If you could afford to do a 15 year loan, at the same interest rate, the monthly payment would be $994.49 and you would save nearly $60,000 in interest. If you change the interest rate, the payment could change significantly also.
