What goes into the $4,103 payment

Buying a $500,000 home with only 3% down ($15,000) borrows $485,000 and carries PMI until enough equity builds. This shows the trade-off of a low down payment: a smaller cash outlay now, a higher monthly payment and mortgage insurance for several years.

This estimate assumes property tax of 1.1% of the price per year ($5,500), homeowners insurance of $2,100 per year, and PMI at 0.6% of the loan per year while the balance is above 80% of the value. 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.
