The long-ish version of the short version is that a bank determines how much your riskiness is, then determines how much a portfolio on the open market with the same riskiness would make. For the sake of example, let’s say that you’re 110% guaranteed to pay the money back no matter what, so if you’re getting a 30-year loan, the bank will look for the risk-free rate on a 30-year Treasury bond - which will always pay unless the government literally goes completely belly-up. This is currently 4.07%, but we’ll round to 4% for simplicity.

Now, second part. From the bank’s perspective, you paying $100 now is a lot less than you paying $100 twenty years in the future. Why? Because if you give them $100 now, they can invest it at that 4% rate. After 20 years, that $100 you paid today is worth $219 = $100 * (1.04) ^ 20, much more than the $100 you pay 20 years into the future. As such, the bank “discounts” future amounts, dividing it by 1.04 to the power of how many years in the future it is, then sums up all those amounts to get the Current Value. So if you pay $100 a year, the Current Value is $100 (this year) + $100/1.04 (next year) + $100/1.04^2 (year after)… + $100/1.04^30.

Final part: you make monthly payments for the next 30 years on a $500,000 house. Say that you pay 20% down payment, so you’re taking a loan for $400,000. The bank calculates the monthly payment so that the Current Value of the loan, discounted over 360 months at 1/12 the annual rate, equals $400,000. Using the formula for this, you get:

$1,909.66 is your monthly payment.
Across 360 payments, you’ll be paying $687,477.60.

Does this make sense?
