How this is calculated
Principal & interest use the standard fixed-rate formula: M = P × r(1+r)ⁿ ⁄ ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), where P is the loan amount, r the monthly rate (6.50% ÷ 12), and n the number of payments. Taxes, insurance, and HOA are divided into monthly amounts and added on top. PMI is estimated at 0.6% of the loan per year and removed once your balance falls to 80% of the home price, matching how conventional lenders handle it. All math runs in your browser to the exact cent.
