Understanding Your Mortgage & Payments

Learn how monthly payments are calculated, what makes up your total monthly bill, and how you can optimize your home loan.

How is a Monthly Mortgage Payment Calculated?

The standard monthly principal and interest payment is calculated using the amortization formula:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]

Where M is your monthly principal & interest payment, P is the principal loan amount, i is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12), and n is the total number of monthly payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12).

What is PITI?

PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance. These are the four core components of a monthly housing payment:

  • Principal: The portion of your payment that goes directly toward paying off the loan balance.
  • Interest: The cost charged by the lender for borrowing the money.
  • Taxes: Real estate property taxes assessed by local government authorities.
  • Insurance: Homeowners insurance policies to protect the home against damage and hazards.

How do Extra Payments Save Money?

Making extra payments directly reduces your outstanding principal. Because interest is calculated based on your remaining principal balance, lowering the balance faster reduces the total interest generated over the loan's lifetime. This lets you pay off your mortgage ahead of schedule, saving thousands of dollars in interest charges.

What is the Difference Between Down Payment and Loan Amount?

The down payment is the initial cash sum you pay upfront to purchase the property. The total loan amount (principal) is the purchase price minus your down payment. Putting down at least 20% is typically recommended to avoid paying Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
