Methodology
How the payment is estimated
The calculator starts with the home price and down payment to estimate loan amount. It then calculates monthly principal and interest using the selected interest rate and loan term. Property tax, insurance, PMI, HOA and optional extra payments are added to estimate a more realistic monthly housing cost.
Mortgage payment
Loan amount, interest rate and loan term.
Property tax
Home price multiplied by the annual tax rate, divided monthly.
PMI
Estimated when down payment is below 20%.
HOA and insurance
User-entered monthly or annual amounts.
Local notes
- • Closing costs vary by buyer, property, loan type and provider.
- • Use the calculator to estimate the ongoing payment, then separately confirm cash-to-close details.
- • Ask your lender or closing professional for a property-specific closing-cost estimate.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does this calculator include taxes and insurance?

Is this a lender quote?
No. This is an educational estimate. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, PMI and fees vary by buyer, property and lender.
Why is the payment higher than a basic mortgage calculator?
Basic calculators often show only principal and interest. Buyers usually need to budget for taxes, insurance, PMI and HOA as well.
