LOAN DETAILS
Home Value (or Purchase Price)
Enter your estimated purchase price expected to be paid when buying or financing a home.
Down Payment on Mortgage
Enter the amount of down payment you are prepared to pay when financing your home. You can enter a cash amount or a percentage, or use the slider bar below.
Loan Amount
This amount will be calculated automatically based on your entries under Home Value (or Purchase Price) and Down Payment.
Interest Rate
Mortgage interest rates change daily. Enter the current rate being advertised, or use the rate provided by your lender if you have already started the pre-approval process.
Loan Term (years)
Enter the length of your mortgage in years, such as 15, 20, or 30 years.
Start Date (Month / Year)
Enter the month and year your mortgage payments are expected to begin. The payment schedule will be calculated based on the Loan Term you selected.
TAXES, PMI & ESCROW
Annual Property Tax
Enter the estimated yearly property taxes for the home. This amount can often be found in public records through the county property appraiser’s website. If you have not selected a home yet, use an average property tax estimate for the neighborhood you are considering. The calculator will automatically prorate this amount into your monthly payment estimate.
PMI Rate (or Private Mortgage Insusrance)
Enter the estimated Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) rate if your down payment is less than 20%, or use the slider bar below. PMI is typically calculated annually and added to your monthly mortgage payment. Your lender can provide an estimated PMI rate based on your loan type and credit profile. PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) typically ranges from 0.3% to 1.5% of the original loan amount per year. For most buyers, a common average is around 0.5% to 1.0% annually. PMI is not required when making a downpayment of 20% or more.
Annual Home Insurance
Enter the estimated yearly cost of homeowners insurance for the property. If you do not have an exact quote yet, you can use an average estimate based on the home’s location, value, and coverage needs. This amount will be prorated into your estimated monthly mortgage payment.
Estimated Monthly Payment
This estimate includes your monthly principal and interest payment, along with prorated property taxes and homeowners insurance, to give you a clearer picture of your total expected monthly housing payment.
