If you want a quick value for your own information you could multiply 25 times the monthly payment to you. This is a version of the 4% rule you may have read about. It should give you a conservative (low) value. Basically it assumes you will be paid for life and may have very little value at death. The present value methods combined with your life expectancy will give you a much better answer but maybe this will meet your needs.
