This mortgage calculator can be used to give you an estimate on your monthly payments of a home mortgage loan, based on the home's sale price, the term of the loan desired, buyer's down payment percentage, and the loan's interest rate. This calculator estimates in PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) for loans where less than 20% is put as a down payment. It also will factor in the town property taxes, and their effect on the total monthly mortgage payment.
