fit your life.
Explore a monthly payment and a purchase budget using your own assumptions. These estimates help start a conversation with a lender.
01 / MONTHLY PAYMENT
A home price.
A fuller picture.
Principal and interest are one part of a payment. Include taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance, and association fees for a more useful estimate.
02 / PURCHASE BUDGET
Work backward
from a payment.
Choose the monthly housing payment you want to explore. This tool estimates a purchase price from that amount; it does not assess income, credit, debt, or loan eligibility.
How the two calculators work.
The monthly payment calculator starts from a home price, a down payment, an interest rate and a loan term. It then adds annual property taxes, annual homeowners insurance, monthly mortgage insurance and monthly association fees. The result shows the payment in three parts: principal and interest; taxes and insurance; mortgage insurance and association fees.
The purchase budget calculator works the other way. Enter a target monthly housing payment, the monthly taxes, insurance and fees you expect, your cash down payment, a rate and a term. It estimates an illustrative purchase price.
Closing costs are not part of either estimate. For what to expect, read Closing Costs in Indiana and Kentucky. Property taxes change the payment too: Indiana vs Kentucky Property Taxes compares them. New to buying? Start with the first-time home buyer guide.
Use estimates as a starting point.
The starting interest rate and expense amounts are examples, not a current rate quote or an estimate for a particular property. Enter figures from your lender, insurer, tax records, and any association. Closing costs, maintenance, utilities, repairs, and future increases are not included.
These tools model a fixed-rate loan. A lender can explain available loan programs, mortgage insurance, qualification, and your actual Loan Estimate.
