How to Use

1. Enter the home price and your down payment.
2. Set the interest rate and loan term.
3. Optionally add property tax and homeowners insurance for a full PITI estimate.
4. Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.

Calculation Method

Monthly principal & interest uses the standard mortgage formula:

M = P × [ r(1+r)^n ] / [ (1+r)^n − 1 ]

Where P = loan amount, r = monthly interest rate (annual ÷ 12), n = number of payments (years × 12). PITI adds monthly property tax (annual ÷ 12), homeowners insurance (annual ÷ 12), and PMI when the down payment is under 20%.

Data sources: Standard amortization formula; PMI bands per industry averages; property tax rates per state Departments of Revenue.

Examples

$400,000 home, 20% down, 6.5% / 30yr

Loan of $320,000 → about $2,022/mo principal & interest, before taxes and insurance.

$400,000 home, 10% down, 6.5% / 30yr

Loan of $360,000 → about $2,275/mo P&I, plus PMI until you reach 20% equity.
