The full picture
Six things that make up a house payment
Break a house payment into its parts and it is easy to plan for: principal and interest from the loan, property tax and homeowners insurance collected into escrow, PMI if your equity is under 20%, and HOA dues for condos and planned communities. The calculator shows each one, so nothing surprises you at closing.
Questions & answers
Frequently asked
What is included in a house payment?
Principal, interest, property tax, homeowners insurance, PMI where it applies, and HOA dues for managed communities. Together they make up your full monthly housing cost.
How much should my house payment be?
A common guide keeps it near 28% of gross monthly income. Enter a price above and compare the payment to your own budget.
Does the payment include utilities?
No. Utilities, maintenance, and repairs are on top of the mortgage payment. Budget for them separately when you plan.
