1. Set a home-price budget
Start with household income, existing debts and the cash you want to keep after closing. Our home affordability calculator lets you test a budget before you shop. A price estimate is not a preapproval.
Plan your home purchase
Estimate your full monthly mortgage payment by property location and loan type. Compare four scenarios and download a report before buying a home.
Shop for your home loan
Select your property state or ZIP code in the calculator, then request quotes for that location.
U.S. weekly benchmark: 30-year fixed 6.76%; 15-year fixed 6.09%. Freddie Mac PMMS, . National averages, not local offers.
For 15- and 30-year VA planning estimates we subtract 0.25 percentage points from the conventional benchmark; for jumbo / non-conforming we add 0.50 points. These are illustrative assumptions, not observed market spreads or lender offers. Jumbo rates can also be lower than conventional. Other terms and products require your own quote. This is a dated snapshot, not a live rate feed.
Request the same loan type, term, purchase price, down payment and rate-lock period from each lender. Credit score, occupancy, points and lender fees can change the quote. This site does not currently retrieve or rank live local lender offers.
18 lenders listed
Independent reference directory, not a complete market list or a ranking. No listed lender sponsors or endorses this calculator. Product availability varies; confirm your ZIP code and loan details on the lender’s website.
Use quotes for the current property and loan settings above. Fields start blank because these are your quotes, not advertised offers. “Save to comparison” applies the rate and adds a snapshot to the calculator’s four-scenario comparison.
APR and points are recorded for comparison; the payment uses the interest rate. Points are upfront costs and are not added to the monthly PITI estimate. A saved quote is not a rate lock or loan approval.
Fixed-rate calculations use semiannual compounding. Variable-rate calculations use the compounding convention you select. Renewal term and full amortization are separate; the rate after renewal is a scenario you enter. Accelerated biweekly means half the monthly payment every two weeks.
The purchase-price down-payment minimum is 5% up to CA$500,000, then 10% on the portion above that, or 20% for a price of CA$1.5 million or more. This is not an approval test. Enter a quoted insurance premium; taxes on premiums and transfer taxes belong in upfront costs.

Choose repayment or interest-only. Enter the fixed-deal or rate-reset period separately from the full mortgage term, and enter a possible subsequent rate. Interest-only leaves a lump sum to repay at the end. Monthly estimates use the annual rate divided by 12; lender daily calculations may differ.
Enter council tax or domestic rates, insurance and service charges as separate housing expenses. Enter the applicable property-purchase tax and legal fees as upfront costs; selecting England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland does not calculate tax reliefs or rates.

Interest is estimated from actual elapsed days with a 365-day divisor, settled on each repayment date. Lender monthly posting, rounding and leap-year conventions can differ. Payments are a standard periodic estimate. A constant 100% offset reduces the interest-bearing balance on eligible variable or interest-only scenarios.
Interest-only changes to principal-and-interest after the entered period. Use lender quotes for lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), property rates, stamp duty and fees. A zero premium means it is excluded, not that an exemption applies.

EMI is estimated on a monthly reducing balance. For floating-rate loans, enter a reset date as years from the start and a possible new rate. Compare keeping the original payoff date with a changed EMI against keeping the EMI and changing the term. An EMI that does not cover interest produces an error.
One rate change is modeled. State selection records the property location; stamp duty, registration, lender fees, property tax and insurance use your entries. Lender benchmark spreads, eligibility and actual daily accrual are not inferred.

A mortgage calculator should help you see more than principal and interest. Property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues can change the amount you need each month. Enter the home price and down-payment percentage, select the property state or ZIP code, then replace planning defaults with local estimates and a lender quote.

The principal-and-interest payment uses the loan balance, monthly interest rate and number of monthly payments. Monthly property tax and insurance estimates are added for PITI. The displayed housing total also includes entered mortgage insurance and HOA dues. Any financed program fee increases the loan balance.
Monthly P&I = L × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1)
L is the financed loan balance, r is the annual interest rate divided by 1,200, and n is the loan term in months. At a 0% interest rate, principal and interest equal the loan balance divided by the number of payments. ARM results on this page use the initial rate; use the real estate finance calculator to explore rate resets.
Save three scenarios and adjust the live fourth scenario. Compare purchase prices, down payments, loan products and interest rates side by side. Export an outlined comparison in Excel, Word, PDF or JPG for a buyer discussion, budgeting session or follow-up with a lender.
Reports use the assumptions entered. They are educational estimates, not a Loan Estimate, underwriting decision, rate lock or commitment to lend. No borrower account or Social Security number is required.
PITI means principal, interest, taxes and insurance. This calculator also shows mortgage insurance and HOA dues separately so you can understand the broader monthly housing cost.
Yes. Mortgage insurance is estimated from the selected loan product and editable insurance rate. Conventional PMI, FHA MIP and USDA fees use different assumptions; VA loans do not use monthly mortgage insurance in this model.
It depends on the down payment, rate, term and property costs. Open the $450,000 mortgage-payment example, then change the inputs to your own home and lender quote. The purchase price and loan amount are different when you make a down payment.
Location can affect lender availability and pricing, but it does not determine your rate alone. Credit, down payment, occupancy, loan amount, product, points and lock period matter. The benchmark shown here is national; it is not the lowest rate available in your ZIP code.
The property-tax planning rate and dated state typical-home-value reference change. A state value is not a property appraisal, and the state tax average is not a tax bill. Use the annual tax override and your insurer’s quote for a more specific estimate.
Use the note interest rate to calculate principal and interest. APR includes certain borrowing costs and helps compare offers. Compare APR alongside points, cash to close and the time you expect to keep the loan.
No. Everyday Finance provides independent calculation tools. The bank directory links to official websites; listing a lender does not imply affiliation, endorsement or approval.
