How to use this mortgage calculator

Enter the home price, your down-payment percentage, the interest rate (APR) and the loan term. Add your local property-tax rate, annual home insurance and any HOA dues to see your full monthly payment (PITI). Results, the payment breakdown chart and the amortization schedule update instantly.

PITI explained

  • Principal & Interest: the core loan repayment, fixed for the life of a fixed-rate mortgage.
  • Property Tax: set by your county, usually 0.3%–2.2% of home value per year.
  • Insurance: homeowners insurance protecting the property.
  • PMI: added when the down payment is below 20%; removed once you build enough equity.

Estimates use standard formulas. Your actual rate, taxes, insurance and closing costs will vary — confirm with your lender.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the monthly payment?
This calculator shows PITI — Principal, Interest, property Tax and home Insurance — plus PMI (if your down payment is under 20%) and any HOA dues. Together these make up your true monthly housing cost.
How is the mortgage payment calculated?
Principal & interest use the standard amortization formula: M = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ÷ [(1+r)ⁿ − 1], where r is the monthly rate (APR ÷ 12) and n is the number of months. Tax, insurance, PMI and HOA are added on top.
When do I have to pay PMI?
Private Mortgage Insurance is usually required when your down payment is less than 20% of the home price. It typically drops off automatically once you reach about 22% equity.
Should I choose a 15- or 30-year term?
A 15-year loan has higher monthly payments but far less total interest; a 30-year loan has lower payments but costs more over time. Compare both using the term toggle.
