How it works

About this calculator

Buying a home is probably the biggest purchase you will ever make. Our mortgage calculator helps you understand the numbers before you start shopping. Enter the home price, down payment, interest rate, and loan term to see your monthly payment, total interest, and what you will really pay over 30 years. A little math now can save you tens of thousands later.

The formula, explained simply

We use the standard amortization formula that every lender uses. The calculator subtracts your down payment from the home price to get the loan amount, then computes your monthly payment based on the interest rate and term. It also shows the total interest paid over the life of the loan — which is often eye-opening. Try different down payment amounts to see how much you can save.

When you would use this

First-time homebuyers figure out what price range they can afford. Current homeowners evaluate refinancing options. Real estate agents share these numbers with clients. Investors calculate mortgage costs for rental properties. Even just browsing? Plug in some numbers and see what different scenarios look like.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good down payment?
20% is ideal because it eliminates PMI (private mortgage insurance). But many loans accept 3% to 5% down, especially for first-time buyers.
How does my credit score affect my rate?
Higher scores get lower rates. A score above 760 typically gets the best rates. Below 620, you may face significantly higher rates or have trouble qualifying.
What is included in a mortgage payment?
Principal, interest, taxes, and insurance — often called PITI. Some loans also include PMI if your down payment is under 20%.
15-year vs 30-year mortgage?
A 15-year has higher monthly payments but way less total interest. A 30-year has lower payments but you pay much more interest over time. Choose based on your cash flow and goals.
What is PMI?
Private Mortgage Insurance protects the lender if you default. It is required when your down payment is under 20% and typically costs 0.5% to 1% of the loan amount per year.
