How It Works

How to Use the Mortgage Calculator

Start with the property and loan information you know, then add optional housing expenses for a broader monthly estimate.

Enter the Home Price

Enter the purchase price of the home you are considering.

Add Your Down Payment

Enter the amount you expect to pay upfront toward the property.

Choose Rate and Term

M is the monthly principal and interest payment, P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate and n is the total number of monthly payments.

Mortgage Planning

What Can Change Your Mortgage Payment?

Your mortgage payment depends on more than the purchase price. Several variables can materially change the amount you pay each month.

Important Factors

Look Beyond the Monthly Principal and Interest

A mortgage payment estimate becomes more useful when you consider the other costs that may affect your monthly housing budget.

✓

Home Price A higher purchase price generally means a larger amount to finance.

✓

Down Payment A larger down payment can reduce the amount borrowed.

✓

Interest Rate The interest rate directly affects the principal and interest payment.

✓

Loan Term A longer term can reduce the monthly principal and interest payment but may increase total interest.

✓

Property Taxes and Insurance These costs can add substantially to your overall monthly housing budget.

✓

HOA and PMI Applicable association fees and mortgage insurance can further increase monthly costs.

Example

This example uses hypothetical numbers only to demonstrate the calculation.

Hypothetical Example

30-Year Mortgage

Home Price $400,000

Down Payment $80,000

Loan Amount $320,000

Interest Rate 6.50%

Loan Term 30 years

Why the Loan Amount Matters

The home price is not necessarily the amount you borrow. Your down payment reduces the amount financed, while the interest rate and repayment term determine how the loan is paid back over time.

Adding property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA fees and PMI where applicable can give you a more useful picture of the overall monthly housing cost.
