How We Calculate the Costs
Comparing Mortgage Options This calculator helps you compare two different mortgage options. It takes into account various factors for each option: Loan Details:
  • Loan type (Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA)
  • Loan amount
  • Interest rate
  • Loan term
  • Down payment amount
Additional Costs:
  • Property taxes
  • Homeowners insurance
  • HOA fees
  • Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) if applicable
Upfront Fees The calculator considers upfront fees, which can vary based on the loan type:
  • Conventional loans: Typically closing costs (2-5% of loan amount)
  • FHA loans: Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP) of 1.75% of the loan amount
  • VA loans: VA Funding Fee (varies based on down payment and use)
  • USDA loans: Upfront guarantee fee of 1% of the loan amount
These fees can often be rolled into the loan amount, which is an option in the calculator. Assumptions and Calculations The calculator makes several calculations and assumptions:
  • Monthly mortgage payment (principal and interest)
  • Total interest paid over the life of the loan
  • Total cost of the loan (including upfront fees, monthly payments, and additional costs)
  • Annual home appreciation rate: %
Comparison Metrics The calculator compares the two options based on:
  • Monthly payment
  • Total upfront costs
  • Total cost over the life of the loan
  • Break-even point (if applicable)
You can adjust the values in the calculator, including in the advanced settings, to better reflect your specific situation. This allows you to compare different scenarios, such as a 30-year fixed rate mortgage versus a 15-year fixed rate, or comparing loans from different lenders with varying terms and fees. Keep in mind that while this calculator provides a comprehensive comparison, your actual costs may vary based on your specific circumstances, credit score, and local market conditions. It's always recommended to consult with a mortgage professional for personalized advice.
