Calculator Guide
How the Mortgage Calculator works
A mortgage payment has two core parts — principal and interest — but the true cost of owning a home also includes property tax, insurance, PMI, and sometimes HOA dues. This calculator estimates the principal-and-interest payment and lets you layer in property tax.
Formula
M = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ [(1 + r)ⁿ − 1]
M is the monthly principal-and-interest payment, P is the amount borrowed (home price minus down payment), r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of monthly payments (e.g. 360 for a 30-year loan).
Worked example: $350,000 home, 20% down, 6.5% for 30 years
Down payment = 20% × 350,000 = $70,000, so the borrowed principal P = $280,000.
Monthly rate r = 0.065 ÷ 12 ≈ 0.005417; payments n = 30 × 12 = 360.
(1 + r)ⁿ = 1.005417³⁶⁰ ≈ 6.991.
M = 280,000 × 0.005417 × 6.991 ÷ (6.991 − 1) ≈ $1,770 per month in principal and interest.
Over 30 years you pay about $637,000 — roughly $357,000 of it interest.
How to read the result
Compare the monthly payment against your budget, but watch the total interest: a 15-year loan at the same rate roughly doubles the monthly payment yet can cut total interest by more than half. Add taxes and insurance to see your real housing cost.
Common mistakes to avoid
Budgeting only for principal and interest and being surprised by taxes, insurance, PMI, and HOA fees.
Assuming a 20% down payment is mandatory — many loans allow 3–5% down with PMI added.
Ignoring how a small rate change compounds: 0.5% on a $400k loan can mean $40,000+ over the life of the loan.
Tips
Putting 20% down avoids PMI, which typically costs 0.5–1.5% of the loan per year.
Even one extra payment a year measurably shortens a 30-year loan and saves interest.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mortgage Calculator
A 20% down payment avoids Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), which usually costs 0.5–1.5% of the loan per year. Many lenders allow 3–5% down with PMI added to the monthly payment.
A 15-year loan has higher monthly payments but far less total interest — often $100,000+ in savings. A 30-year loan has lower payments but more total interest.
There is an optional property-tax field. Homeowner's insurance and PMI aren't modeled — budget roughly 0.1–0.5% of home value annually for insurance.
Conventional loans usually want 620+, while FHA loans accept 580+. Higher scores unlock lower rates, and a 0.5% rate difference is worth tens of thousands over the loan.
