    How to Use This Calculator

    1. 1

      Enter Property Price

      Input the total purchase price of the home you're considering buying.

    2. 2

      Set Your Down Payment

      Enter your down payment amount. Putting 20% or more down eliminates PMI and reduces your loan amount.

    3. 3

      Input Interest Rate

      Enter the annual interest rate quoted by your lender. Even 0.25% differences matter over 30 years.

    4. 4

      Choose Loan Term

      Select 15, 20, or 30 years. Shorter terms have higher payments but dramatically lower total interest.

    5. 5

      Add Taxes, Insurance & HOA

      Include annual property taxes, homeowners insurance, and any HOA fees for a complete monthly picture.
