Mortgage Calculator

Calculate your monthly mortgage payment including taxes and insurance

About mortgage calculations

How much house can I afford?

A common rule is to keep your total housing payment under 28% of your gross monthly income. Use this calculator to find a payment that fits your budget, then work backwards to find the home price.

How does the down payment affect my payment?

A larger down payment reduces your loan amount, lowers your monthly payment, and eliminates PMI (private mortgage insurance) if you put down 20% or more.

What is included in a mortgage payment?

A full mortgage payment (PITI) includes Principal, Interest, property Taxes, and homeowners Insurance. This calculator includes all four when you enter tax and insurance amounts.

Is a 15-year or 30-year mortgage better?

A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but you pay far less total interest and build equity faster. A 30-year mortgage has lower payments but costs significantly more over time.
