Mortgage Payment Calculator
Estimate your full monthly Florida mortgage payment — principal, interest, property taxes, and homeowners insurance — in seconds.

Payment Breakdown
Estimates only. Property tax and insurance vary by Florida county and property, and coastal premiums run well above the statewide average. PMI is estimated at 0.7% of the loan a year. It applies only to conventional loans above 80% LTV. FHA mortgage insurance works differently. Excludes HOA and condo dues. Subject to credit approval.
This calculator estimates your total monthly housing cost, not just principal and interest. Most lenders look at the full PITI figure — principal, interest, taxes, and insurance — when they decide how much you qualify for.
Adjust the down payment, rate, and term to see how each lever changes your payment. A larger down payment lowers the loan amount, while a shorter term raises the monthly payment but cuts total interest sharply.
These figures are estimates. For neutral, official guidance on mortgage costs and what lenders can charge, see the CFPB's Owning a Home guide.
How to Use This Calculator
- 1
Enter the home price you are considering. Set your down payment in dollars, or drag the slider to pick a percentage.
- 2
Set an interest rate. If you are unsure, use a figure close to current market rates and treat it as illustrative.
- 3
Choose your loan term, then adjust the annual property tax and homeowners insurance figures to match your Florida county.
- 4
Read the estimated monthly payment at the bottom, then request a real quote to confirm your numbers.
The Formula & Assumptions
Monthly P&I = L × [ r(1+r)^n ] / [ (1+r)^n − 1 ]
L = loan amount (price − down payment)
r = monthly rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
n = number of payments (years × 12)
Total = P&I + monthly tax + monthly insurance + PMI
PMI = loan × 0.7% ÷ 12, only while LTV > 80%
The principal-and-interest portion uses the standard amortizing-loan formula. Property tax and insurance start as a yearly percentage of the home price, divided by twelve. We default to 1.1% and 0.7%. Type your own annual figures over either one and the calculator stops auto-adjusting it.
Florida property tax rates vary by county and homestead status, and homeowners insurance can run higher near the coast. Treat the tax and insurance figures as starting estimates and confirm with your county appraiser and an insurance agent.
Private mortgage insurance is added automatically when the down payment is under 20%. We estimate it at 0.7% of the loan per year. Above 20% it drops off. Actual PMI depends on your credit score and LTV. FHA mortgage insurance follows different rules. Use the PMI calculator for a closer look. This tool still excludes HOA and condo association dues.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a monthly mortgage payment?
A typical payment includes four parts known as PITI: principal, interest, property taxes, and homeowners insurance. If you put less than 20% down, mortgage insurance is usually added, and a condo or HOA community adds association dues.
How much should my down payment be?
Conventional loans can start at 3% down and FHA loans at 3.5%, while VA and USDA loans allow zero down for eligible buyers. Putting 20% down on a conventional loan removes private mortgage insurance, which lowers your payment.
Are the property tax and insurance numbers accurate for Florida?
They are estimates. Florida property taxes vary by county and depend on whether you claim the homestead exemption, and insurance premiums are higher in coastal and flood-prone areas. Confirm both with local sources before you budget.
Does this calculator show my interest rate?
No. The rate you enter is illustrative. Your actual rate depends on your credit score, loan program, down payment, and current market conditions. Request a personalized quote for a real figure.

It estimates your full monthly housing cost — principal, interest, property taxes, and homeowners insurance (PITI). You enter a home price, down payment, rate, and term.
Mortgage Payment Calculator in Florida
Florida property tax averages roughly 0.8% to 1.1% of assessed value depending on the county, and the homestead exemption can shave $50,000 off the taxable value of a primary home. Homeowners insurance runs higher here than the national average, especially near the coast, so the insurance line in this calculator matters more in Florida than almost anywhere else.
How the Mortgage Payment Calculator Works
The tool first subtracts your down payment from the price to get the loan amount, then runs that loan amount through the standard amortizing-payment formula to find principal and interest. It estimates monthly taxes and insurance as a yearly percentage of the price divided by twelve and adds everything together.
The Mortgage Payment Formula, Explained
M = L × r(1 + r)^n / [ (1 + r)^n − 1 ]
L is the loan amount (price minus down payment), r is the monthly rate (the annual rate divided by 12), and n is the number of payments (years times 12). The result M is your monthly principal and interest.
Taxes and insurance are layered on top: yearly property tax and insurance are each estimated as a percentage of the home price, then divided by twelve to get a monthly figure. HOA dues and mortgage insurance are not included in the base formula.
The Complete Mortgage Payment Calculator Guide
Your monthly mortgage payment is the single number that decides whether a home fits your budget, and most buyers underestimate it because they only think about principal and interest. The full picture is PITI — principal, interest, taxes, and insurance — and in Florida the taxes and insurance can add several hundred dollars a month on top of the loan payment.
Use the calculator to test the levers one at a time. Raising your down payment lowers the loan amount and the payment directly. Shortening the term from 30 to 15 years raises the monthly payment but cuts total interest dramatically. A lower rate helps the most early in the loan, when interest is the largest share of each payment.
Once your estimate looks comfortable, treat it as a ceiling rather than a target. Leave room for HOA dues, maintenance, and the higher insurance premiums common in coastal Florida. A pre-approval from a licensed broker confirms the real rate and payment you qualify for.
Mortgage Payment Calculator FAQ
Does this include PMI or HOA dues?
No. The base calculator covers principal, interest, property tax, and homeowners insurance. If you put less than 20% down, add private mortgage insurance, and add HOA or condo dues separately if the property has them.
Why is my estimate different from a lender quote?
The rate you enter is illustrative. Your real rate depends on credit, loan program, down payment, and the current market, and a lender also factors in escrow specifics. Treat this as a planning figure and confirm with a quote.
