How to Use the Free Mortgage Calculator
To estimate your monthly payment, fill in the calculator fields with your loan details. (Use the sliders or fill in the fields manually):
- Home Price: Enter the total purchase price of the property.
- Down Payment: Enter the amount you plan to pay upfront. You can input this as a specific dollar amount or a percentage of the home price. Note: Enter 20% or higher to avoid PMI (see below).
- Interest Rate: Enter the estimated annual interest rate for the loan. Current interest rate trends can be found here: https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms Note: actual rates will be affected by your credit score, down payment, debt-to-income ratio, market conditions, and other important factors. It is recommended to talk to a licensed home loan lender who can provide personalized advice and explain options specific to your situation.
- Loan Term: Select the number of years you will take to pay off the mortgage (e.g., 15 or 30 years).
- Annual Property Tax: Enter the total yearly tax amount for the home. If you have a specific home in mind, check the current annual tax rate for the county here: Zillow or check the local county assessor’s website.
- Annual Homeowners Insurance: Enter the yearly cost of your insurance policy. To estimate, you can use a common shortcut known as the Replacement Cost Rule: Estimate $400–$500 in annual premiums for every $100,000 of home value. (Example: $2500 per year for $500,000 home value). Also consider risk factors: Rates will be higher for older homes or those in areas prone to natural disasters like wildfires or hurricanes. It is best to talk to a licensed insurance agent who can explain the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value and can provide an estimate tailored for your specific property.
- PMI Rate: Enter the annual rate for Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), which is typically 46% to 1.5%of the original loan amount. PMI is required if your down payment is less than 20% of the home price. If you entered 20% or more in the down payment field, the PMI does not apply and will not be included in the calculations. As with the home loan interest rate, the actual PMI % rate will be affected by your credit score, down payment, debt-to-income ratio, and other important factors.
