How to Calculate Your Monthly Mortgage Payment

Your monthly mortgage payment has up to five parts: principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and — if your down payment is below 20% — private mortgage insurance (PMI). Principal is the portion that pays down your loan balance. Interest is what the bank charges for lending you the money. Property taxes and homeowner's insurance are often escrowed into the monthly payment.

PMI protects the lender if you default and is required when your equity is below 20%. It typically costs between 0.3% and 1.5% of the original loan amount per year. The good news: PMI is automatically removed once your loan-to-value ratio drops to 80%, which happens through a combination of principal payments and property appreciation.

Why Extra Payments Matter

Even a small extra payment toward principal each month can dramatically reduce your total interest and shorten your payoff timeline. On a $240,000 loan at 7%, an extra $200/month saves over $80,000 in interest and pays off the loan nearly 8 years early. The savings compound because every dollar of extra principal reduces the balance that future interest is calculated on.

Mortgage Considerations for Rental Property Investors

For investment properties, most lenders require a 20-25% down payment and charge interest rates 0.25% to 0.75% higher than owner-occupied loans. The monthly mortgage is your single largest expense as a rental property owner. If the rent does not comfortably cover the mortgage plus operating expenses, the deal does not work.
