Understanding Your Mortgage Payment

When planning to purchase a home, understanding the components of your monthly payment is crucial for financial stability. While most people focus on the principal and interest, a true mortgage budget must include PITI: Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance.

Key Calculator Inputs Explained

  • Principal: The portion of your payment that reduces the loan balance.
  • Interest: The cost of borrowing money, determined by your APR.
  • Property Taxes: Fees paid to your local government, usually bundled into your monthly payment via an escrow account.
  • Homeowners Insurance: Protection for your property against damage, required by lenders.
  • HOA Fees: If you buy a condo or a home in a planned community, these fees are paid separately but affect your total monthly affordability.

How Interest Rates Affect Your Buying Power

Even a small change in interest rates can significantly impact your monthly payment. For example, on a $300,000 loan, a 1% increase in interest rate can raise your monthly payment by hundreds of dollars, reducing the total home price you can afford. Use this calculator to test different rate scenarios and find a budget that works for you.

Why Calculate "PITI"?

Lenders look at your Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio using the full PITI amount, not just the loan repayment. By inputting accurate tax and insurance estimates above, you'll see a number much closer to what the bank will use to qualify you for a loan.

function calculateMortgage() { // 1. Get Input Values var homePrice = parseFloat(document.getElementById('homePrice').value); var downPayment = parseFloat(document.getElementById('downPayment').value); var interestRate = parseFloat(document.getElementById('interestRate').value); var loanTerm = parseFloat(document.getElementById('loanTerm').value); var propertyTax = parseFloat(document.getElementById('propertyTax').value); var homeInsurance = parseFloat(document.getElementById('homeInsurance').value); var hoaFees = parseFloat(document.getElementById('hoaFees').value); // 2.
