How to use this Mortgage Calculator
Start with home price, down payment, rate, and term, then add the recurring housing costs that actually apply to your scenario. The headline result shows the estimated first-month all-in payment, while principal-and-interest, payoff date, lifetime interest, PMI modeling, payment composition, rate sensitivity, amortization, and extra-payment impact remain visible without hiding the main answer.
Scope and limits
This is a fixed-rate planning model, not a quote or approval. It does not fetch live lender rates or location-specific taxes/insurance. PMI pricing and cancellation, escrow, closing costs, legal rules, servicing treatment, and adjustable-rate products require lender or official documents.
Mortgage payment formula
The principal-and-interest portion of a fixed-rate mortgage uses the standard amortizing-loan payment formula. Taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and modeled PMI are added separately because they are not part of the loan amortization itself.
P is the loan principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of monthly payments.
Example
A $300,000 loan at 6% for 30 years has principal-and-interest of about $1,799 per month before property tax, homeowners insurance, PMI, HOA fees, or other ownership costs.
