About the Mortgage Calculator

A mortgage payment is usually more than just loan principal and interest. Lenders often bundle in property tax and home insurance, and your down payment determines how much you actually borrow — all of which shape the monthly figure you need to budget for.

This calculator combines those pieces. Enter the home price, your down payment, the interest rate and term, plus annual property tax and insurance, and it breaks down your full monthly payment. Use it to see how a bigger down payment or a shorter term changes both your monthly cost and the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

Frequently asked questions

How much should my down payment be?⌄

A larger down payment lowers the amount you borrow, reduces your monthly payment, and can help you avoid mortgage insurance. 20% of the home price is a common benchmark, but the right figure depends on your savings and goals.

What's included in my monthly mortgage payment?⌄

Typically four parts, often abbreviated PITI: principal, interest, property tax, and (home) insurance. This calculator lets you include tax and insurance so the estimate reflects your real monthly outlay.

Does a shorter term save money?⌄

Yes. A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments than a 30-year one, but you pay far less total interest because you're borrowing for half as long.
