What is a mortgage calculator?

A mortgage calculator estimates your monthly home payment based on the loan amount, interest rate, and term — plus the recurring costs that lenders include in the full payment: property taxes, home insurance, private mortgage insurance (PMI), and HOA fees. The total monthly figure tells you what the home will actually cost each month, not just the principal and interest.

Understanding PITI

PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance — the four core components of a typical mortgage payment. Lenders use total PITI to evaluate affordability (the 28% rule: PITI should not exceed 28% of gross monthly income). When down payment is below 20%, PMI is added on top — typically 0.3% to 1.5% of the loan amount per year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PITI?

PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance — the four components of a typical monthly mortgage payment.

What is PMI and when do I pay it?

PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) protects the lender if you stop paying. It is required when your down payment is less than 20%. Once your loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%, PMI is typically removed.

How is the monthly payment calculated?

P&I uses the standard amortization formula: M = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n − 1], where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly rate, n is the number of months. Taxes, insurance, PMI, and HOA are added monthly.

Does this calculator save my data?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, stored, or tracked.

Is this accurate enough for real decisions?

It uses the standard formula used by lenders and is mathematically accurate. Real estimates also include closing costs, escrow fees, and lender charges. Always consult a licensed mortgage professional.
