What Is My Monthly Payment?

Want to know what your actual payment could be?
The chart above is a starting point, not a quote. Your real payment depends on your credit, your down payment, the loan program you use, the type of property, and the rate available on the day you lock. Two people borrowing the same amount can end up with different payments.
We will run your actual numbers in writing, including taxes and insurance, so you are comparing something real.
How is a mortgage payment calculated?
Three things decide the payment shown on this page: how much you borrow, your interest rate, and your loan term. That is it. Change any one of them and the payment moves.
At 6.50%, every $100,000 you borrow runs about
$632 / monthBorrowing $350,000? Three and a half times that. Close enough to sanity-check a listing price while you are standing in someone's kitchen.
Principal versus interest
Principal is the money you actually borrowed. Interest is the fee the lender charges for lending it to you. Your monthly payment covers both in a single amount, which is why it is called a principal and interest payment.
What surprises most first-time buyers is the split. In the early years, the large majority of each payment goes to interest and only a small slice reduces what you owe. That ratio shifts a little every month, and by the last years of the loan nearly the whole payment is principal. The payment amount never changes on a fixed-rate loan — only what it is buying.
What the term does to your payment
Every figure on this page assumes a 30-year fixed mortgage, which is 360 monthly payments. Stretching a loan over 30 years instead of 15 makes each monthly payment noticeably smaller, because you are spreading the same principal across twice as many payments. The trade is that you pay interest for twice as long, so the loan costs considerably more over its life. Neither choice is automatically right. It depends on what you need the monthly number to be.
Is this my total monthly house payment?
No. This is the single most important thing to understand about this page. The amounts shown are principal and interest only.
Your actual monthly housing payment will usually also include:
- Property taxes
- Homeowners insurance
- Mortgage insurance, on many loans with less than 20% down
- HOA or condo association dues, if the property has them
- Flood insurance or other property-specific coverage
We are deliberately not estimating those here, because guessing at them would make this page less accurate rather than more. They vary enormously by county, by property, and by insurer — and in Florida, homeowners insurance has become one of the biggest swing factors in what a house actually costs per month. Two identical homes an hour apart can carry very different insurance bills.
If you want the whole picture rather than the principal and interest slice, that is a conversation rather than a chart. Ask us and we will build it out for you.
Why could my mortgage payment be different?
The chart assumes one specific borrower at one specific rate. You are probably not that exact borrower, and that is normal. Here is what moves the number.
Things about you
- Credit score and credit history. Higher scores generally price better. A clean recent mortgage history matters too.
- Down payment and loan-to-value. How much you put down affects both the loan size and the pricing on it.
- Whether you will live there. A primary residence prices better than a second home, which prices better than a rental.
Things about the loan
- Loan program. Conventional, FHA and VA loans price differently and carry different mortgage insurance rules.
- Loan term. 15-year and 30-year loans price differently.
- Points and credits. You can pay money up front to lower your rate, or take a lender credit toward closing costs and accept a slightly higher one.
Things about timing
- Market conditions when you lock. Rates move. The rate on this page is the one we used for the illustration, not a rate we are offering you.
None of this should feel intimidating. It is the reason a written estimate is worth more than any calculator, including this one.
Mortgage payment by loan amount
People rarely borrow a round number. If your loan is landing at $327,000 or $482,500, the chart at the top of this page gets you close but not exact. The tables below fill in the gaps between those $50,000 steps, in $5,000 increments from $200,000 to $800,000.

Mortgage payment FAQ
How much is the monthly payment on a mortgage?
It depends on three things: how much you borrow, your interest rate, and how long you have to pay it back. On a 30-year fixed at 6.50%, every $100,000 you borrow costs about $632 a month in principal and interest. The chart above runs the real numbers from $200,000 to $800,000.
What is principal and interest?
Principal is the money you borrowed. Interest is what the lender charges you for borrowing it. Your monthly payment covers both at once. Early on, most of the payment goes to interest and only a little chips away at the principal. That flips over the years, and by the end almost all of it is principal.
Does this mortgage payment include taxes and insurance?
No. Every figure on this page is principal and interest only. Your real monthly housing payment will also include property taxes and homeowners insurance, and often mortgage insurance, HOA dues, or flood insurance. In Florida especially, homeowners insurance can be a large share of the total, so get an actual insurance quote before you decide what you can afford.
Why does my credit score affect my mortgage payment?
Your credit score is one of the inputs lenders use to set your interest rate. A higher score generally earns a lower rate, and a lower rate means a smaller payment on the same loan amount. The difference is not trivial. A rate half a point apart changes the payment on a $400,000 loan by roughly a hundred dollars a month.
Does a larger down payment lower my mortgage payment?
Yes, in two ways. A bigger down payment means a smaller loan, and a smaller loan has a smaller payment. It can also get you past the point where mortgage insurance is required, which removes a separate monthly cost on top of principal and interest.
How much is the payment on a $300,000 mortgage?
About $1,896 a month in principal and interest, based on a 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.50%. That figure does not include property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance or HOA dues.
How much is the payment on a $400,000 mortgage?
About $2,528 a month in principal and interest, based on a 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.50%. That figure does not include property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance or HOA dues.
How much is the payment on a $500,000 mortgage?
About $3,160 a month in principal and interest, based on a 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.50%. That figure does not include property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance or HOA dues.
How much is the payment on a $600,000 mortgage?
About $3,792 a month in principal and interest, based on a 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.50%. That figure does not include property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance or HOA dues.
How much is the payment on a $700,000 mortgage?
About $4,424 a month in principal and interest, based on a 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.50%. That figure does not include property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance or HOA dues.
How much is the payment on an $800,000 mortgage?
About $5,057 a month in principal and interest, based on a 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.50%. That figure does not include property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance or HOA dues.

Important disclosures
These figures are examples, not an offer. Every payment shown on this page is calculated for a hypothetical borrower with all of the following:
- A 750 credit score
- No mortgage late payments in the previous 24 months
- An 80% loan-to-value ratio
- Not a first-time homebuyer
- A 30-year fixed-rate mortgage
- An interest rate of 6.50%, as displayed on this page
- Principal and interest only
If any one of those does not describe you, your numbers will be different.
The examples are provided for informational and illustrative purposes only. They are not a commitment to lend, and they are not a guarantee of an interest rate, of loan approval, of loan terms, or of a monthly payment. Actual rates, pricing, eligibility and payments vary. Every borrower's situation is different.
Changes to your credit, loan amount, loan-to-value, occupancy, property type, loan program, the timing of your rate lock, discount points or lender credits, and general market conditions can all change the actual figures.
Property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, HOA dues, flood insurance and other applicable housing costs are not included in the principal and interest payments shown.
