How to use this calculator

Using the calculator

Enter Home price, Down payment i, Interest rate i, Loan term, and the other fields shown. Estimate a monthly mortgage payment using home price, down payment, interest rate, term, property taxes, insurance and other housing costs.

Reading the result

The payment estimate shows the recurring housing cost produced by the loan assumptions entered. Review principal and interest together with taxes, insurance, and other included costs.

How it is calculated

Installment payment estimates use standard amortization math, spreading principal and interest across the selected term. Taxes, insurance, fees, mortgage insurance, and other costs only affect the result when the calculator includes or asks for them.

Results are estimates based on the values entered. Review the Methodology and Calculator Disclaimer for important limitations.

Common questions

Does the mortgage payment result include every housing cost?

Principal and interest are only part of the monthly housing cost. Property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, association dues and maintenance may also matter.

Why does a small rate change affect the payment?

Interest is charged across a large balance and many months. A seemingly small rate difference can therefore change both the required payment and total interest over time.

Is the calculator result the payment a lender will offer?

No. It is a planning estimate based on the inputs entered. A lender will use actual loan terms, disclosures, eligibility rules and property information.
