Calculate Your Monthly Mortgage Payment (PITI)
Understanding the true cost of homeownership involves more than just calculating the loan repayment. A comprehensive mortgage calculation must include PITI: Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance. Our advanced calculator below helps you estimate your total monthly housing obligation to ensure you make a financially sound decision.

What is PITI in Mortgage Calculations?
When you take out a mortgage, your monthly check to the lender often covers more than just the loan repayment. This aggregate payment is known as PITI:
- Principal: The portion of your payment that reduces the loan balance.
- Interest: The cost of borrowing the money, paid to the lender.
- Taxes: Property taxes collected by your local government, often held in escrow by the lender.
- Insurance: Homeowners insurance to protect against damage, also typically held in escrow.
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 over $150. Use the calculator above to scenario-test different interest rates to see what you can comfortably afford.
The Impact of Down Payments
Your down payment determines your Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio. If you put down less than 20% of the home's price, lenders typically require Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). This protects the lender if you default but adds to your monthly costs. Entering a larger down payment in the calculator reduces your principal balance and eliminates the need for PMI, saving you money over the life of the loan.
