Calculate Your Home Affordability with Ease
Kitsap Credit Union’s mortgage affordability calculator allows you to estimate your monthly mortgage payments based on key factors such as home price, down payment, loan term, and interest rate. By adjusting these inputs, you can explore different financial scenarios and gain insights into what fits within your budget. This tool simplifies the home-buying process by giving you a clearer picture of your potential costs before you start shopping for a home.
What Do These Mortgage Metrics Mean?
The calculator breaks down your estimated monthly mortgage payment into principal and interest (P&I), taxes, and insurance. The principal represents the amount you borrow, while the interest is what you pay to the lender for the loan. Property taxes and homeowners insurance are essential costs that vary by location and policy, impacting your total monthly expense. By understanding these components, you can make more informed financial decisions and plan your budget more effectively.
