Loan Calculator
Estimate loan payments.
Estimate the full monthly cost of a home loan — principal and interest plus property tax, homeowners insurance and HOA dues — and see how the loan pays down over time.
P&I = L × r / (1 − (1 + r)^−n) Monthly total = P&I + tax ÷ 12 + insurance ÷ 12 + HOA
L is the loan amount (price minus down payment), r is the monthly rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the number of monthly payments (years × 12).
A $350,000 home with 10% down on a 30-year fixed loan at 6.25%, with $3,850 property tax and $1,400 insurance per year and $75/month HOA dues.
Lenders often describe the monthly payment as PITI: principal, interest, taxes and insurance. Principal and interest repay the loan itself, while property tax and insurance are frequently collected into an escrow account and paid on your behalf.
Homeowners association (HOA) dues are usually paid separately but are included here because they affect what you can afford each month.
Many conventional loans accept 3–5% down, and some government-backed loans accept less. Putting 20% down typically avoids private mortgage insurance (PMI) and lowers your monthly payment.
No. PMI depends on your lender, credit score and loan-to-value ratio. The calculator shows a reminder when your down payment is below 20%.
A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but a lower rate and far less total interest. A 30-year mortgage keeps payments lower and more flexible. Compare both terms above.
The principal and interest figure is exact for a fixed-rate loan. Taxes, insurance and HOA fees are your estimates and can change year to year.
