How to Use This Mortgage Calculator

Our professional mortgage calculator is designed to provide you with the most accurate estimate of your potential monthly mortgage payments. Whether you are a first-time home buyer or looking to refinance, understanding the numbers is crucial.

Understanding the Inputs

  • Home Price: The total purchase price of the property you intend to buy.
  • Down Payment: The amount of money you pay upfront. A higher down payment reduces your loan amount and monthly payments. Conventionally, 20% is ideal to avoid PMI.
  • Loan Term: The length of time you have to repay the loan. Common terms are 15 or 30 years. Shorter terms have higher monthly payments but lower total interest costs.
  • Interest Rate: The annual percentage rate (APR) charged by the lender. This varies based on the market and your credit score.
  • Property Tax & Insurance: These are annual estimated costs. Property taxes vary by location, and insurance depends on the coverage you choose.

Mortgage Terminology Glossary

Principal

The amount of money you borrow to buy your home. As you make monthly payments, your principal balance decreases.

Interest

The cost of borrowing money, paid to the lender. In the early years of a mortgage, a large portion of your payment goes toward interest.

PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)

Insurance usually required if your down payment is less than 20%. It protects the lender if you default on the loan.

Amortization

The process of paying off a debt over time through regular payments. An amortization schedule shows how much of each payment goes to principal vs. interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage?

A 15-year mortgage typically has a lower interest rate and you'll pay significantly less interest over the life of the loan, but your monthly payments will be higher. A 30-year mortgage offers lower monthly payments, making it more affordable month-to-month, but you will pay more in total interest.

How much down payment do I really need?

While 20% is the gold standard to avoid PMI, many lenders accept much less. Conventional loans can go as low as 3-5% down, FHA loans require 3.5%, and VA loans often require 0% down. However, a lower down payment means a larger loan and potentially higher costs.

What is included in "PITI"?

PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance. These are the four main components of a monthly mortgage payment. Some payments may also include HOA dues or Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).

How does my credit score affect my mortgage rate?

Your credit score is a major factor in the interest rate lenders offer you. Generally, a higher score (760+) qualifies you for the lowest rates. Lower scores may result in higher rates or difficulty qualifying. Even a small difference in rate can save or cost you thousands over the life of the loan.

Why Accuracy Matters

Even a small miscalculation in your monthly budget can compound over time. Our tools use professional-grade financial formulas to ensure you have the precise data needed for big decisions.
