Mortgage Payment Calculator

Estimate your monthly mortgage payment including principal & interest, property taxes, insurance, and HOA. Model how an extra principal payment each month can shorten your payoff time and reduce total interest.

Property & Loan

Taxes, Insurance & HOA

Enter annual tax and insurance estimates. These are converted to monthly amounts and added to your payment as escrow.

Extra Principal Strategy

Extra principal directly reduces your loan balance. This can shorten your payoff period and cut total interest dramatically. Try $100–$500/month and see the impact.

Early in the loan, most of your payment goes to interest. Over time, the principal portion grows as the balance shrinks. Extra principal accelerates this shift.
