This is an estimate, not a quote. Actual taxes, insurance and mortgage insurance vary by property and by borrower. Your real numbers come from an official Loan Estimate after you apply.

Reading the result

Why the payment is bigger than the loan payment

People shop by principal and interest, then get surprised at closing. Taxes and insurance are usually collected monthly with your payment, and if you put less than 20% down there is mortgage insurance on top. On a typical file those three can add several hundred dollars a month.

Seeing the whole number now is the point of this page.

Move the down payment to 20%

Watch the mortgage insurance line drop to zero. Then move it back down and see what the difference costs per month. That single comparison answers most of the questions people bring to Ryan.
