-
Property Taxes: Annual % of value, divided by 12 months (varies by location).
-
Homeowners Insurance: Annual policy cost, divided by 12 months.

HOA Fees: Monthly dues if applicable.
-
PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance): Usually required when LTV > 80%; drops off after sufficient equity.
Tips to lower your mortgage payment
-
Increase your down payment to reduce PMI and interest costs.
-
Compare rates from multiple lenders — even a 0.25% difference compounds over 30 years.
-
Consider shorter terms (e.g., 20 or 15 years) if you can handle a higher monthly P&I to reduce total interest.
Common scenarios

First-time buyers: Toggle PMI on/off to see the impact of reaching 20% down.
-
Investors: Adjust taxes, insurance, and HOA to model different markets.
-
Refinancing: Enter your new rate and remaining term to compare savings.

Pick your country in the preset and refine manually. Local property tax rules differ widely; when in doubt, ask your municipality or lender.
