The PITI workbench

In short

Enter the figures from your own quote and bills. The workbench calculates principal and interest with the standard amortization formula, converts yearly taxes and insurance to monthly, adds mortgage insurance and dues, and shows the escrowed payment separately from the total. Every field starts empty.

What it leaves out

Line-item questions

How do I calculate a mortgage payment with taxes and insurance?

Calculate principal and interest from the loan amount, rate and term, then add one twelfth of the yearly property tax and insurance, plus any mortgage insurance. The workbench does this from your inputs.

Is this a mortgage calculator with PMI and HOA?

Yes. Enter monthly mortgage insurance and HOA dues and they are added as separate lines.
