What This Means
Your monthly mortgage payment on a $500,000 home consists of several components: principal and interest (P&I) of $2,628, estimated property taxes of $500/month (based on 1.2% annual rate), and homeowners insurance of approximately $117/month. The total estimated monthly payment is $3,245. The interest rate has the biggest impact on your payment — at 6.875%, you'll pay $545,977 in total interest over 30 years on a $400,000 loan. Making extra payments can dramatically reduce this: even one additional payment per year can shave years off your mortgage and save tens of thousands in interest. If your down payment is less than 20%, you'll also need to budget for private mortgage insurance (PMI), which typically adds 0.5–1% of the loan amount annually.
