How This Mortgage Calculator Works

This free mortgage calculator uses the standard loan amortization formula to compute your monthly principal and interest payment. It then adds your estimated property taxes, homeowners insurance, and HOA fees to give you a complete picture of your monthly housing costs.

The Mortgage Formula

M = P × [r(1+r)ⁿ] / [(1+r)ⁿ - 1]

Where M is your monthly payment, P is the loan principal,r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the total number of payments (loan term in years × 12).

Why Use a Mortgage Calculator?

  • Estimate affordability before house hunting
  • Compare 15-year vs 30-year loan scenarios
  • Understand the impact of down payment size
  • Budget for taxes and insurance, not just P&I
