How This Calculator Works

This calculator determines your monthly mortgage payment (PITI) by combining your loan's principal and interest with estimated local costs for taxes and insurance.

The Calculation Process:

  1. Loan Amount: We subtract your down payment from the home price.
  2. Monthly Interest: Your annual rate is divided by 12 to get the monthly interest charge.
  3. Amortization: We apply the standard formula to spread principal and interest across your chosen term (e.g., 360 months for a 30-year loan).
  4. Add-ons: We add 1/12th of your annual property taxes, homeowners insurance, and HOA fees to the core payment.

Formula

M = P × [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n − 1 ]
Where:
  • M = monthly principal + interest payment
  • P = principal (loan amount)
  • i = monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
  • n = number of monthly payments (years × 12)
Taxes, insurance, HOA, and PMI are added to estimate total monthly housing cost when provided.

Example Calculation

Here is a common scenario for a $400,000 home purchase:

  • Home Price: $400,000
  • Down Payment (20%): $80,000
  • Loan Amount: $320,000
  • Interest Rate: 6.5%
  • Loan Term: 30 Years
  • Monthly Principal & Interest: ~$2,023

*Note: Your final payment will be higher once you include localized property taxes and homeowners insurance.

How to Lower Your Mortgage Payment

If the estimated payment is higher than your monthly budget, consider these strategies:

  • Increase Down Payment: Every dollar down reduces your loan balance and potential PMI costs.
  • Improve Credit Score: A better credit score often leads to lower interest rate offers.
  • Shop for Insurance: Get multiple quotes for homeowners insurance to find the most competitive rate.
  • Extend the Term: Choosing a 30-year loan instead of a 15-year loan lowers the monthly payment, though you will pay more in total interest.
