Mortgage Payment Calculator

Estimate your monthly payments, including principal, interest, taxes, and insurance.

Understanding Your Mortgage Calculation

When planning to purchase a home, understanding exactly how much you will pay each month is crucial for financial stability. This Mortgage Payment Calculator helps you estimate your monthly financial obligation by factoring in not just the loan repayment, but also the escrow costs associated with homeownership.

How Is Your Monthly Payment Calculated?

A standard mortgage payment consists of four primary components, often referred to as PITI:

• Principal: The portion of your payment that goes toward paying down the original amount you borrowed.
• Interest: The cost of borrowing money, paid to the lender. In the early years of a mortgage, a larger portion of your payment goes toward interest.
• Taxes: Property taxes assessed by your local government. These are typically divided by 12 and collected monthly into an escrow account.
• Insurance: Homeowners insurance protects your property against damage. Like taxes, the annual premium is usually divided into monthly installments.

The Impact of Interest Rates and Loan Terms

Even a small difference in interest rates can significantly affect your monthly payment and the total cost of the loan. For example, a 1% increase in the interest rate on a $300,000 loan can increase your monthly payment by hundreds of dollars and your total interest paid by tens of thousands over 30 years.

Similarly, the loan term matters. A 15-year mortgage will have higher monthly payments than a 30-year mortgage, but you will pay significantly less in total interest because the loan is paid off twice as fast.

Why Use a Mortgage Calculator?

Using a calculator allows you to test different scenarios before speaking with a lender. You can determine:

• How much house you can afford based on your monthly budget.
• How a larger down payment affects your monthly obligation.
• Whether a shorter loan term is financially feasible for you.

Example Scenario

If you purchase a home for $350,000 with a 20% down payment ($70,000), your loan amount will be $280,000. Assuming a 6.5% interest rate over 30 years, your principal and interest payment would be approximately $1,770 per month. Adding property taxes and insurance brings the total monthly cost higher, giving you a realistic picture of affordability.
