Understanding Mortgage Payments

A typical mortgage payment is made up of several parts:

• Principal: The amount you borrow to buy your home.
• Interest: The cost of borrowing that money.
• Taxes: Property taxes paid to your local government.
• Insurance: Homeowners insurance to protect your property.
• PMI: Private Mortgage Insurance, required if your down payment is less than 20%.

What is PITI?

PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance. This is the total monthly payment most lenders require.

What is an Amortization Schedule?

An amortization schedule is a table that shows exactly how much of each payment goes toward principal and interest, and how your balance decreases month by month. It helps you see how much you’ll pay in interest over the life of your loan.

Understanding Your Results

When you calculate, you’ll see:

• Your Monthly Payment (PITI): The total you’ll pay each month, broken down into principal & interest, taxes, insurance, and PMI.
• A Pie Chart: Visualizes how your payment is split.
• Total Interest Paid: The total cost of borrowing over the full loan term.
• Amortization Schedule: See your first 12 months in detail, and a graph of your loan balance and interest paid over time.

• Want to pay off your home faster? Try a shorter loan term or make extra payments to reduce your total interest.
• Need to lower your payment? A bigger down payment or lower interest rate can help.

Important Considerations & Limitations

• Estimates only: Actual costs may vary based on lender, location, and insurance provider.
• PMI is an estimate: Calculated at 0.5% of loan amount per year if left blank and down payment is less than 20%.
• Taxes & insurance: These can change annually. Check with your local tax authority and insurer for exact numbers.
• Does not include HOA fees or special assessments.
• For educational purposes only: Always consult a financial advisor or lender for personalized advice.
