Estimate only. This calculator is educational and is not financial advice or a loan offer. It excludes PMI, closing costs, lender fees, and changes to taxes or insurance.
How to use it
Build a complete payment estimate
Enter the purchase price and down payment.
Add the annual interest rate and loan term.
Include taxes, insurance, and HOA fees for a more realistic monthly total.
Review the payment breakdown and amortization schedule.
Understanding the result
Principal falls while interest declines
Early payments on a typical fixed-rate loan contain more interest. As the balance falls, more of each principal-and-interest payment reduces the loan. Taxes, insurance, and HOA fees do not reduce the principal.
Common questions
Mortgage calculator FAQ
How is the monthly mortgage payment calculated?
The calculator amortizes the loan principal over the selected term using the monthly interest rate, then adds monthly estimates for property tax, home insurance, and HOA fees.
Does this estimate include private mortgage insurance?
No. PMI, mortgage insurance premiums, closing costs, lender fees, and changing escrow amounts are not included.
Can this calculator be used for refinancing?
Yes. Enter the proposed refinance balance, rate, and term, but compare the estimate with closing costs and lender disclosures before making a decision.
What happens when the interest rate is zero?
The loan principal is divided evenly across all monthly payments. Taxes, insurance, and HOA fees are still added separately.

The loan model assumes a fixed rate and equal scheduled payments.
Taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and other ownership expenses can change over time.
The estimate is not a loan offer or financial advice and should be checked against lender disclosures.
