How to Use Mortgage Calculator?

Components of a Mortgage Calculator

The loan amount is the home price minus the down payment, typically 3–20% of the purchase price, and depends on your income and affordability.

A down payment affects interest rates and loan approval. Loans with less than 20% down often require private mortgage insurance (PMI) until the principal falls below 80% of the home value.

The interest rate, a yearly percentage, varies based on fixed (FRM) or adjustable (ARM) mortgages, with ARM rates starting 0.5–2% lower but tied to market indices.
