About this tool
The Mortgage Calculator estimates your true monthly housing cost: principal and interest from loan amount, rate, and term, plus the extras that lenders and first-time buyers routinely underestimate — property tax, insurance, and other recurring charges.
The principal-and-interest figure alone understates real cost by 20–40% in most markets. Seeing the all-in number before you shop for homes prevents the classic mistake of qualifying for a payment you cannot comfortably live with.
What people use it for
- Set a realistic home-shopping budget from the all-in monthly payment, not just the loan payment.
- Compare a 15-year versus 30-year term side by side — payment difference versus lifetime interest difference.
- Estimate how much a larger down payment lowers both the monthly payment and total interest.
- Stress-test affordability: re-run the numbers 1–2% above today's rate to see if a refinance-era budget survives.
Tips for better results
- Include property tax and insurance from day one — they typically add hundreds per month and rise over time.
- A 20% down payment usually avoids mortgage insurance, which is pure cost with no equity benefit.
- Compare lender offers on APR rather than the headline rate; APR folds in most fees.

FAQ
How much house can I afford?
A common guideline keeps total housing costs (payment, tax, insurance) under 28% of gross monthly income, with all debt under 36%. Work backwards: enter rates and terms until the all-in payment lands inside that band, and that is your price range.
Is a 15-year or 30-year mortgage better?
A 15-year term costs dramatically less interest but demands a higher payment; a 30-year keeps payments manageable and flexible. Many buyers take the 30-year and prepay like a 15 — keeping the lower obligation while capturing most of the interest savings.
