Buying a home is the biggest loan most people ever take. Enter the home price, your down payment, the interest rate and the term to see the real monthly payment and the true total cost of the house.
The part of the price you pay yourself upfront. The rest is the loan. A bigger down payment means a smaller loan and less total interest.
No — it covers principal and interest only. Property taxes, insurance and bank fees add to the real cost.
The result shows total interest separately — on long terms it can approach or exceed the amount borrowed, which is why the rate matters so much.
