Frequently Asked Questions

How is the monthly mortgage payment calculated?

The monthly payment is calculated using the standard amortization formula: M = P * [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1], where P is loan principal (price minus down payment), r is monthly interest rate, and n is total monthly payments.

Does this estimate include property taxes and homeowners insurance?

This tool calculates the principal and interest (P&I) payment. Property taxes, homeowners insurance, and local HOA fees vary by location and can be budgeted separately.
