Multiply the number of payments over the life of the loan by your monthly payment. Then subtract the principal amount you borrowed.

300*3087.26 = 926178 (TOTAL PAYMENTS)
926178 - 400000 = 526178 in interest =)

926178 - 400000 = 526178 in interest =)

So the total amount to be repaid would just be the first answer (300 x $3087.26 = $926 178)
