Methodology#
Payments use the standard fixed-rate formula and assume a constant interest rate for the life of the loan. Property tax and homeowners insurance are estimated as an annual percentage of the home's value (US averages: ~1.1% tax, ~0.35% insurance) and added to the monthly payment as escrow — they don't affect the loan amortization. PMI and HOA dues are not included and vary by lender and location. "Extra / month" is applied to principal each month, which shortens the term and cuts total interest; the schedule is aggregated by year. Figures are estimates for planning, not a loan offer or financial advice.
