Mortgage PITI & Escrow Calculator

This mortgage PITI calculator estimates the main monthly housing payment layers used in many US mortgage conversations. PITI means principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. The calculator adds those values together, then keeps optional HOA or service charges visible as a separate monthly cost.

Enter the loan amount, home value, interest rate, and term to estimate principal and interest. Then add property tax as either an annual amount or an annual percentage of home value, plus homeowners insurance, optional PMI or mortgage insurance, and optional HOA dues.

This is a planning calculator, not a lender escrow statement. It does not look up county tax rates, quote insurance, calculate exemptions, model escrow reserves, or apply lender-specific PMI rules. Use the mortgage calculator for principal-and-interest only, and use this page when you want a mortgage payment with taxes and insurance calculator.

Suppose a US buyer borrows $320,000 at 6.75% for 30 years. The principal-and-interest payment is the base loan payment. If the home is worth $400,000 and property tax is estimated at 1.2% annually, the tax layer adds about $400 per month.

If homeowners insurance is $1,800 per year, that adds $150 per month. A monthly PMI estimate of $120 would bring the estimated PITI payment to principal and interest plus $670 of tax, insurance, and PMI.

If there is a $75 HOA fee, the calculator shows it separately from escrow because HOA dues are often paid outside the lender escrow account even though they still affect the total monthly housing cost.

For this calculator, estimated escrow means the monthly property tax, homeowners insurance, and PMI or mortgage insurance values you enter. The calculator divides annual tax and insurance assumptions by 12 and adds them to any monthly PMI estimate.

Real escrow can include cushion requirements, annual analysis, shortages, refunds, changing tax bills, insurance premium changes, and lender-specific rules. Those are outside this calculator, so treat the escrow number as a planning estimate rather than a statement amount.

If you only need the loan payment, use the mortgage calculator. If property tax alone is the missing input, use the property tax calculator and then bring that annual estimate back here.

PITI is often more useful than principal and interest alone because it is closer to the housing payment that competes with income, debt, savings, repairs, utilities, and everyday spending.

For a wider pressure check, put the total monthly housing payment into the debt to income calculator or compare ownership assumptions in the rent vs buy calculator.

A payment can look affordable before tax, insurance, PMI, HOA, maintenance, and utilities are included. Use cautious assumptions before treating the maximum purchase price as comfortable.

PITI stands for principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. In US mortgage planning, it is often a better monthly payment estimate than principal and interest alone.

The estimated escrow portion in this calculator is the monthly property tax, homeowners insurance, and PMI or mortgage insurance based on the values you enter.

HOA dues or service charges are shown outside escrow because they are often paid separately even though they still affect monthly housing affordability.

The result is a planning estimate. Lender escrow analysis, reserves, shortages, tax exemptions, assessment changes, insurance quotes, and PMI rules are outside this calculation.

Using a principal-and-interest payment as if it were the full monthly cost of owning the home.

Treating an entered tax rate as official when property tax depends on local rules, assessment practices, exemptions, caps, and special assessments.

Assuming the estimated escrow amount will match a lender statement. Lenders may add cushion amounts or adjust escrow after actual bills arrive.

Forgetting HOA dues, maintenance, utilities, repairs, closing costs, and moving costs when judging affordability.

Start with mortgage if you only need principal and interest, then move here when taxes, insurance, PMI, and escrow matter.

Use property tax to estimate the annual property tax input separately, then enter that amount here as a monthly housing layer.

Put the total monthly housing payment into debt to income to see how the payment compares with gross income and other monthly debts.

Use rent vs buy when the question is whether ownership costs beat renting over a holding period.

Rerun the calculator when interest rates, home price, loan amount, tax estimate, insurance premium, PMI, or HOA dues change.

Review again before making an offer, before closing, after receiving an insurance quote, and after the first actual property tax bill.

If your lender sends an escrow analysis, compare it with the inputs here and update tax, insurance, and PMI assumptions rather than treating the old estimate as fixed.
