How to Use the Mortgage Payment Calculator

To use this calculator, enter the home price, down payment, loan term, and interest rate. Optionally, you can also enter property tax, home insurance, HOA fees, and PMI. The calculator will then provide your estimated monthly mortgage payment.

Formula

The formula used is: M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n - 1], where M is the monthly payment, P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of payments.

Example Calculation

For a $300,000 home with a $60,000 down payment, 30-year term, and 3.5% interest rate, the monthly payment is approximately $1,347.13, including taxes and insurance.
