How Mortgage Payments Work
Your monthly mortgage payment consists of principal and interest (P&I). The principal is the amount you borrowed, and interest is the cost of borrowing that money. Over the life of your loan, you'll pay more in interest during the early years, with more going toward principal in later years.
What is PITI?
PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance. This calculator shows Principal and Interest (P&I). Your actual monthly payment may also include property taxes and homeowners insurance, which are typically escrowed and paid with your mortgage payment.
How Down Payment Affects Your Payment
A larger down payment reduces your loan amount, which lowers your monthly payment and total interest. For example, a 20% down payment on a 300,000 unit home means you borrow 240,000 instead of 300,000, significantly reducing your monthly payment.
