The interest rate, tax figures, and insurance premium are yours to enter: this tool has no baked-in rate or tax default.

How this estimate works

  • Principal and interest use standard amortization: monthly P&I = loan × r(1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1), where r is your annual rate divided by 12 and n is months.
  • Taxes, insurance, and MUD/PID are divided across 12 months from the annual figures you enter; HOA is added as a monthly amount.
  • The first full-value tax year on a new build can land higher than the builder's estimate. See the January 1 tax trap chapter below.

Plan the payment before you sign

The estimate above is only as good as the figures you enter, so gather them before the offer: the builder's price sheet, your tax district's rates, and your insurance quote. Enter them here and you have a monthly figure to take into your buyer's consultation with Theresa De La Rosa.
