What PITI means

Lenders think in PITI: Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance. The loan payment is only part of the story — property taxes, homeowner's insurance, HOA dues, and any mortgage insurance can add hundreds a month. This calculator shows the full picture so you budget for the real number.

How it’s calculated

Loan = price Γ— (1 βˆ’ down %). P&I = loan Γ— r Γ· (1 βˆ’ (1 + r)^βˆ’n). The total monthly payment (PITI) adds property tax, insurance, and HOA.

Worked example

A $400k home, 20% down at 6.5% over 30 years is ~$2,023 P&I; with taxes and insurance the full payment is higher.

Common mistakes

  • Budgeting for P&I only and ignoring taxes, insurance, and HOA.
  • Forgetting PMI when the down payment is under 20%.

Where it is used

  • Estimating a full monthly housing payment.
  • Seeing how the down payment changes the loan.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include PMI?

Not separately — if your down payment is under 20%, add private mortgage insurance into the insurance field.

Why is my payment higher than principal and interest?

Taxes, insurance, and HOA are bundled into most monthly payments through an escrow account.

How do I lower the payment?

A larger down payment, longer term, or lower rate all reduce the monthly figure — though a longer term raises total interest.
