About This Estimate

This calculation shows principal and interest only. Your actual monthly payment will also include property taxes (typically 0.5-2.5% of home value per year), homeowner's insurance ($1,000-$3,000+ per year), and possibly Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) if your down payment is less than 20%. Use our full mortgage calculator to see a complete payment breakdown including taxes, insurance, and PMI.

A $175,000 home with 20% down requires a $35,000 down payment and a $140,000 loan. Over 30 years at 7%, you'll pay $195,312 in total interest — bringing the true cost of the home to $370,312. Choosing a 15-year term saves you $108,808 in interest but increases your monthly payment by $326.94.
