In 2021, a standard 30-year fixed mortgage in the US could be had for somewhere around 3%. Following a series of interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve, that number is now above 7%.

How much higher will your monthly mortgage payments be now for the same house at a 7% rate (same house price and percent down payment). Answer in whole dollars.
