Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the monthly payment?

The core payment covers principal and interest. With property tax and insurance added, this becomes your PITI (Principal, Interest, Tax, Insurance) — the true monthly housing cost.

Should I choose a 15 or 30 year mortgage?

A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but saves significantly on total interest. A 30-year mortgage has lower payments but you pay more interest over time. Use this calculator to compare both.

Does this include PMI?

No. PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) applies when your down payment is less than 20%. Add it manually to your monthly estimate if needed — typically 0.5-1.5% of the loan amount per year.
