1

Calculate Net Borrowed Principal (Home Price - Down Payment)

$400,000.00 - (20%: $80,000.00) = $320,000.00➔ $320,000.00

Quick Answer & Understanding Your Result

Source: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) - Mortgages Guide

A Mortgage Calculator determines your total monthly housing payment (PITI: Principal, Interest, Property Taxes, Homeowners Insurance, and PMI) based on home price, down payment, loan term, and interest rate.

Core Components of a Monthly Mortgage Payment (PITI)

  • Principal & Interest (P&I): Fixed monthly debt service computed via standard amortization annuity formulas.
  • Property Taxes: Local municipal property taxes held in escrow (~0.5% to 2.5% of assessed property value annually).
  • Homeowners Insurance (Hazard): Annual property casualty insurance split into 12 monthly escrow payments.
  • Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Required when making a down payment of less than 20% on conventional loans.

Key Lending Benchmarks

  • Standard Down Payment: 20% to avoid PMI (minimum 3% to 3.5% for conventional / FHA loans).
  • Front-End DTI Ratio: Housing costs should ideally remain under 28% of gross monthly income.

Enter your home price, down payment, and interest rate above to calculate your comprehensive monthly payment.

Formula & Calculation Logic

Mathematical Formula
Mathematical Formula
Monthly P&I
= P × [r(1+r)ⁿ] / [(1+r)ⁿ - 1]
Total Monthly Payment (PITI)
= Monthly P&I + (Property Tax / 12) + (Insurance / 12) + Monthly PMI

P is loan amount (Home Price - Down Payment); r is monthly interest rate; n is total months (e.g. 360 for 30 years).
