Frequently Asked Questions

How is a monthly mortgage payment calculated?

Your monthly payment is built from the loan principal, the interest rate, the loan term and, where relevant, property taxes and insurance. The calculator divides the amortized loan into equal monthly installments and can factor in the extra costs of home ownership.

What factors affect my mortgage payment?

The largest drivers are the loan amount, interest rate and term length. A lower rate or a longer term reduces the monthly payment, while a larger down payment lowers the amount you need to borrow.

How much house can I afford?

A widely used guideline is that your monthly housing costs should stay within about 28%–36% of your gross monthly income. Use this calculator to test different down payments and rates and see what fits your budget.
