Calculator tips

This calculation uses the interest portion of your first payment to calculate a monthly tax benefit. Your actual tax benefit usually changes over the life of the loan. Talk to your tax advisor regarding the ongoing tax benefit and the possibility of adjusting your withholdings to account for the extra interest deduction. If this option is right for you, more money may be available for you to apply toward your monthly house payments.

You may also want to talk to a qualified financial professional regarding the effects of wage increases and home appreciation.

Loan points and fees are not considered in this calculation.

If your mortgage has less than 20% down, Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) will be factored into the highest payment you can afford. Since the PMI is not a part of the loan, it is not included in the amortization schedule detail but it is part of the calculation.
