About this calculator

Estimate your total monthly mortgage payment — principal, interest, property taxes, home insurance, PMI, and HOA fees — and see the full amortization schedule for your home loan.

A mortgage payment is usually more than just principal and interest. Lenders often collect property taxes and home insurance premiums monthly and hold them in escrow, and if your down payment is under 20% you'll typically also pay Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) until you build enough equity. HOA fees and other recurring costs add further to the total, even though they don't affect how the loan itself amortizes. This calculator keeps the loan's principal & interest schedule separate from these extra costs, so you can see exactly how much of your payment goes toward paying down the home versus covering taxes and insurance.

How to use

  1. Enter the home price and your down payment, either as a percentage or a fixed dollar amount.
  2. Enter the loan term and annual interest rate.
  3. Choose the month and year your loan starts.
  4. Check "Include Taxes & Costs Below" to add property taxes, home insurance, PMI, HOA fees, and other costs.
  5. Press Calculate to see your total monthly payment, payoff date, total interest, and the amortization schedule.

Tips

  • PMI is usually no longer required once you reach about 20% equity in your home.

Formula

Monthly Principal & Interest: M = P × [r(1+r)ⁿ] / [(1+r)ⁿ − 1] where P = loan amount, r = monthly interest rate, n = number of payments Total Monthly Payment = M + Property Tax/12 + Home Insurance/12 + PMI/12 + HOA/12 + Other Costs/12
