Important estimate assumptions
This is not a Loan Estimate or Closing Disclosure under TRID. Official disclosures are provided by a lender after application for covered closed-end loans.
Program fees and mortgage insurance (PMI, FHA MIP, VA funding fee, USDA fees) vary by program rules, borrower profile, and lender requirements.
Property taxes and insurance can vary materially by county, exemptions, and property details.
Final figures depend on property details, borrower profile, lender overlays, and program eligibility at application.

Understanding Your Payment
Every number in this calculator serves a purpose. Here's what each one means for your finances.
Principal & Interest
The core of your loan payment — principal reduces your balance, interest is the cost of borrowing. Early payments are mostly interest; over time, more goes to principal.
Property Taxes
Property taxes vary by county, taxing entities, exemptions, and assessed value changes. Treat this as a user-entered estimate and verify with county tax resources.
Homeowners Insurance
Homeowners insurance is required by lenders and varies significantly by property and location. Use this field as an editable estimate, then replace it with a carrier quote.
Mortgage Insurance & Program Fees
Conventional PMI, FHA MIP, VA funding fee, and USDA guarantee fees follow different rule sets. This calculator models those fees for planning, not underwriting approval.
Scenario Planning
Use this estimate to compare loan options and monthly payment structures, then review the full financial picture with Rachael before moving forward.
HOA Fees
Common in planned communities, condos, and master-planned neighborhoods. HOA fees vary widely — from $50 to $700+/month — and are not included in your loan, only in your budget.
Extra Payments
Even modest extra payments applied directly to principal can significantly shorten your loan payoff timeline and reduce long-term borrowing costs.
