Common Questions

How do I estimate my monthly mortgage payment?

A monthly payment is the loan plus interest, property tax, homeowners insurance, and HOA dues if there are any. Put in a price you’re curious about and a rate from the rates table. That comfortable number becomes your starting range for a lender.

Does the mortgage calculator include mortgage insurance (PMI)?

No. Most loans add mortgage insurance when you put less than 20% down, so your real payment may be a bit higher. Your lender can give you the exact figure.

Which interest rate should I use in the calculator?

Use the rates table on the page, which shows daily national averages for 30-year fixed loans from Optimal Blue Mortgage Market Indices via FRED. Find the row closest to your credit score and the column that matches your down payment. These are estimates, not a quote.

What if the estimated payment feels too high?

Try a lower price or a bigger down payment until the payment feels comfortable. Then take that comfortable payment to a lender for a preapproval.
