How to use this mortgage calculator

A mortgage calculator answers the search people actually type: “what will my monthly payment be?” Principal and interest follow amortization. Property tax, insurance, and HOA are the extras that turn a loan quote into a real housing budget.

Use a rate from a lender’s Loan Estimate, not a headline APR from an ad. If you put less than 20% down, budget for PMI until you reach 20% equity. Compare a 15-year and 30-year term before you lock.

Formula

M = P[r(1+r)ⁿ] / [(1+r)ⁿ−1], where P is principal, r is the monthly rate, and n is the number of payments.

Worked example

A $320,000 loan at 6.5% for 30 years has principal and interest of about $2,023 per month.

Frequently asked questions

Is this mortgage calculator free?

Yes. It works instantly in your browser with no signup.

Are the results exact?

Results follow the stated formula, but real-world fees, timing, and rounding can vary.

How is a monthly mortgage payment calculated?

Principal and interest use the standard amortization formula. This calculator also adds property tax, homeowners insurance, and HOA so you see a PITI-style total.

What is PITI?

Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance. Lenders underwrite on PITI (and often HOA), not principal and interest alone.

How much house can I afford?

A common starting point is a total housing payment near 28–36% of gross income, but lenders use full DTI. Try the mortgage affordability calculator with a payment you can actually keep.

Does this include PMI?

Not as a separate line. If your down payment is under 20%, add a PMI estimate to the monthly total or raise the down payment in the form.

15-year vs 30-year mortgage?

A 15-year loan has a higher monthly payment and much less total interest. Switch the term here to compare both.
