How it works

Monthly principal and interest = P × [r(1 + r)^n] ÷ [(1 + r)^n − 1]. Total monthly housing cost adds property tax, homeowners insurance, PMI, and HOA dues.

Assumptions

Uses a fixed-rate loan and the values you enter. Property taxes, insurance, PMI, HOA dues, closing costs, and lender fees can change.

About this calculator

A monthly home payment is usually more than principal and interest. This estimate puts PITI, optional PMI, and HOA dues beside the loan payment so a planning scenario is easier to compare with a lender’s disclosure.

How to use it

  1. Enter the purchase price and cash down payment.
  2. Use a rate and term from a current lender scenario, not an assumed approval.
  3. Add annual tax and homeowners-insurance estimates plus any known PMI or HOA amount.
  4. Compare the total housing payment with your budget and official Loan Estimate.
