Mortgage calculator
The whole payment, not just the loan.
Principal and interest are the easy part. This calculator adds property tax, insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA so the number you see is the number you will actually write each month.

How the numbers are built.
See how each line is calculated
Principal and interest use the standard amortization formula for a fixed-rate loan.
Property tax is the annual rate you enter, divided by twelve. Connecticut mill rates differ by town; Nevada rates differ by county and district and are capped by the abatement rules. The defaults are common figures, not the number for a specific home.
Mortgage insurance follows the loan type. Conventional loans under 20% down are shown with 0.5% of the loan per year until 80% loan-to-value. FHA shows the 1.75% upfront premium rolled into the loan and 0.55% per year. VA loans have no monthly insurance; the funding fee (2.15% first use, 3.3% subsequent use, waived when exempt) is rolled into the loan. Lenders set the actual figures.
When you're ready to know what a lender will actually offer, I'll introduce you to one who works this loan type every week.
