What goes into the $3,295 payment

A $500,000 home at a 7% rate illustrates payments in higher-cost suburbs. With $100,000 down, the $400,000 loan alone runs well over $2,600 a month in principal and interest before taxes and insurance.

This estimate assumes property tax of 1.1% of the price per year ($5,500), homeowners insurance of $2,100 per year, and no PMI, because the down payment is 20% or more. Actual property tax and insurance vary widely by state and property — swap in your real figures above.

Disclaimer: this is an educational estimate, not a loan offer or financial advice. Lenders calculate escrow, PMI and closing costs their own way; confirm every figure with your loan officer.
