Calculator

Full-payment mortgage calculator

Principal and interest is the loan. The amount you actually send also includes taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and PMI. This adds them up.

Mortgage insurance

The 0.50% PMI figure is a planning estimate, not a quote. Taxes and insurance are the yearly bills divided by 12.

PITI, plus HOA and PMI

The coupon is more than principal and interest. This adds the tax, insurance, association, and mortgage-insurance pieces that show up in the real monthly cost.
