Frequently asked
Does this include taxes and insurance?
No — the figure is principal and interest only. Property taxes, homeowners insurance, and PMI are added separately.
What about a 15-year term?
A shorter term means a higher monthly payment but far less total interest. Try the Mortgage Calculator to compare.
How does extra principal help?
Each extra dollar shortens the term and cuts total interest. Try the Extra Mortgage Payment Calculator.
