Use this calculator to explore how a home price, down payment, interest rate, property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues can affect an estimated monthly payment.
Use the result as a starting point—not a loan quote. Actual payments and cash needed at closing depend on your credit, loan program, lender, property, insurance and other costs. Compare the calculator result with personalized Loan Estimates from lenders.
How do current mortgage rates affect buying power? Even a small rate change can meaningfully change a monthly payment. Review the national weekly average in the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey, then use the CFPB interest-rate scenarios to understand how credit, down payment, loan term and loan type can affect borrowing costs. When you are ready to compare lenders, the CFPB recommends that buyers compare Loan Estimates for the same loan scenario.
