A mortgage calculator is a free tool that estimates your monthly home loan payment by combining your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term with property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and PMI. The standard formula used is M = P[r(1+r)n]/[(1+r)n-1], where P is the principal, r is the monthly rate, and n is total payments.

How This Mortgage Calculator Works

This calculator uses the standard mortgage amortization formula: M = P[r(1+r)n] / [(1+r)n - 1], where P is the loan principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the total number of payments.

Your total monthly payment includes principal and interest, property taxes, homeowner's insurance, PMI (if under 20% down), and HOA fees. The amortization schedule shows how each payment splits between principal and interest over the life of the loan.

Understanding Amortization

In the early years, most of each payment goes toward interest. As your balance decreases, more goes to principal. Even small extra payments early on can save significant interest over the loan's lifetime.

When Is PMI Required?

Private Mortgage Insurance is required when your down payment is less than 20%. PMI typically costs 0.5% to 1.5% of the loan amount annually. It protects the lender, not you. PMI is removed when you reach 20% equity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is my monthly payment calculated?
Using the standard amortization formula. For a $320,000 loan at 6.75% for 30 years, the principal and interest payment is about $2,075. Add taxes, insurance, and PMI for the total.
Should I choose 15 or 30 years?
15 years saves tens of thousands in interest but has higher monthly payments. 30 years offers lower payments and more flexibility. The right choice depends on your budget and other goals.
How do extra payments help?
Extra payments go directly to principal, reducing your balance faster. Adding $100/month to a $320,000 loan at 6.75% saves over $40,000 in interest and cuts nearly 5 years off the loan.
