Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good down payment?

Traditionally, 20% is considered ideal because it avoids PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). However, many loans allow 3%, 5%, or 10% down.

What is PMI?

If you put down less than 20%, lenders usually require you to pay Private Mortgage Insurance every month to protect them in case you default on the loan.

Why are taxes and insurance included?

Most lenders require property taxes and home insurance to be paid through an Escrow account, meaning they are rolled into your single monthly mortgage payment.

Does this calculator include HOA fees?

You can add HOA (Homeowners Association) fees manually to your monthly budget, but they are generally paid separately from the mortgage.

Does it include property taxes and insurance?

It focuses strictly on the principal and interest. You should add taxes manually if needed.

Can I enter a down payment?

Yes, you can specify your down payment to automatically reduce the total loan amount.
