What Is a Mortgage Calculator?

A mortgage calculator is an online tool that helps estimate the monthly payment for a home loan. It uses the home price, down payment, loan term, and interest rate to calculate the principal and interest payment. This calculator also allows you to include property taxes, home insurance, PMI, HOA fees, and extra costs for a more complete estimate.

Mortgage Payment Formula

The standard mortgage payment formula for principal and interest is:

M = P × [ r(1 + r)n ] / [ (1 + r)n − 1 ]
  • M = monthly principal and interest payment
  • P = loan amount
  • r = monthly interest rate
  • n = total number of monthly payments

Mortgage Calculator FAQs

What is the main monthly mortgage payment?

The main mortgage payment is usually principal and interest. However, many homeowners also pay property tax, insurance, and other costs each month.

Does a larger down payment reduce monthly payment?

Yes. A larger down payment reduces the loan amount, which can lower the monthly payment and may help avoid PMI.

What is PMI?

PMI means private mortgage insurance. It is commonly required when the down payment is less than 20% of the home price.

Can extra payments reduce interest?

Yes. Extra monthly payments can reduce the remaining balance faster, which may lower total interest and shorten the payoff time.
