Understanding Your Home Buying Costs

Buying a home involves many costs beyond just the purchase price. This calculator helps you understand all the expenses involved:

Monthly Costs

These are the recurring costs you'll pay each month as a homeowner, including your mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

Upfront Costs

These are one-time costs paid when purchasing your home, including your down payment, closing costs, and moving expenses.

Closing Costs

These are fees and expenses you pay when finalizing your mortgage and home purchase, typically ranging from 2-5% of the loan amount.

Property Taxes

These are taxes assessed by your local government based on the value of your property, typically paid annually or as part of your monthly mortgage payment.

Insurance

Homeowners insurance protects your property, and private mortgage insurance (PMI) may be required if your down payment is less than 20%.
