Mortgage Calculator
Estimate your full monthly payment (PITI).
What is in a monthly payment
Most mortgage payments bundle four things, often called PITI: principal (paying down the balance), interest (the cost of the loan), taxes (property taxes), and insurance (homeowners, plus PMI if your down payment is under 20%). When you compare a monthly payment, make sure you are comparing all four. See the full mortgages guide.
How much house you can afford
A lender maximum is not your budget. A common guideline keeps total housing costs to around a quarter to a third of take home pay, but the real test is whether the payment still leaves room to invest, save, and live comfortably. Do not forget maintenance, and keep your emergency fund intact after the down payment.
