A True Monthly Payment Includes
Principal & Interest — your loan repayment plus the interest the lender charges for borrowing. Together, these make up the monthly payment shown above, not including HOA, taxes, and PMI.
HOA Dues — anywhere from zero to $1,000+ a month, depending on the community and its amenities.
Property Taxes — Texas trades a state income tax for higher property taxes, making this a significant part of your monthly cost.
PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) — an added cost when you put down less than 20%, but a temporary one. On conventional loans, it automatically ends once your loan balance drops to 78% of the home's original purchase price.
Credit Score Factor — this is how lenders decide what interest rate to offer you. Better credit means a lower rate, a lower monthly payment, and less interest paid over the life of the loan.
This calculator is a helpful starting point, not financial, tax, legal, or lending advice. The results are estimates only. For current rates and your specific eligibility, please confirm with a qualified lender or professional before making any decisions. All real estate services are provided in full compliance with Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) regulations, federal and state fair housing laws, and Equal Housing Opportunity.
