Frequently asked questions
How is my monthly mortgage payment calculated?
Your principal-and-interest payment uses the standard amortization formula from the loan amount, interest rate, and term. Abodemic then adds monthly property tax, homeowners insurance, PMI (if your down payment is under 20%), and any HOA dues to show your full PITI payment.
What is PMI and when do I pay it?
Private mortgage insurance is required on conventional loans when your down payment is under 20% (loan-to-value above 80%). By law it automatically cancels once your balance reaches 78% of the home's original value, so it's a temporary cost, not permanent.
Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage?
A 15-year loan has a higher monthly payment but a lower rate and far less total interest. A 30-year loan lowers the monthly payment for more flexibility but costs more over time. Try both terms above to compare the payment and lifetime interest.
Does a bigger down payment lower my payment?
Yes — twice over. A larger down payment shrinks the loan (lowering principal and interest) and, once you reach 20% down, removes PMI entirely. Both reduce your monthly payment.
