Estimated monthly payment -

The result is a calculation on your figures. It is not a guaranteed saving or an offer.

Principal and interest, plus one month of property tax and insurance, plus PMI and HOA dues where entered.

For illustrative purposes only. Not a loan offer or commitment to lend. Cindrus is not a lender, mortgage broker or loan originator, we pass no information to lenders, and no lender pays us.

This estimate is not a loan offer or a personal recommendation about a mortgage.

Basis: the figures you entered and the standard payment formula. No market rate is used. The rate and costs you can actually get may differ.

This estimate assumes:
  • The interest rate stays the same for the whole term.
  • Interest is charged monthly at the yearly rate divided by twelve.
  • Tax and insurance are the yearly amounts you entered, spread evenly over the months.
  • PMI stays at the amount you entered until its scheduled end.
  • Closing costs, points and the APR are left out.

How the monthly payment is worked out

Principal and interest use the standard formula for a fixed-rate amortizing loan. The monthly rate is your yearly rate divided by twelve. Each payment covers that month's interest first, and the rest lowers the balance, so the principal share grows over time.

Property tax and homeowners insurance are your yearly amounts divided across the months. When a loan has an escrow account, Regulation X lets the servicer collect one-twelfth of the expected yearly bills each month and hold a cushion of no more than one-sixth.

The conforming loan limit comes from FHFA and changes each year. Where we show a figure from a public source, the date it was read sits next to it.
