How to Use the Mortgage Calculator
Our mortgage calculator provides a comprehensive look at your potential monthly costs. To get an accurate estimate, you'll need a few key pieces of information:
- Home Price: The total purchase price of the home.
- Down Payment: The amount of cash you'll pay upfront. A 20% down payment is standard to avoid PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance).
- Interest Rate: The annual interest rate for your loan.
- Loan Term: The length of the loan, typically 15 or 30 years.
- Property Tax & Insurance: Annual estimates for these recurring costs, which are often bundled into your monthly payment via an escrow account.
Understanding Amortization
Amortization is the process of paying off a debt over time through regular payments. In the early years of a mortgage, a large portion of your monthly payment goes toward interest. As the balance decreases, more of your payment goes toward the principal.
Use the "Amortization" tab in the calculator to see exactly how your balance decreases and how much interest you pay each year.
