What is included in my monthly mortgage payment?
Your payment is usually PITI: principal, interest, property taxes, and homeowners insurance. If you put less than 20% down, mortgage insurance joins the payment, and a condo or HOA community adds dues separately.
Escrow collects taxes and insurance, and the lender pays them when due. We build your full PITI for the specific home so you see the real monthly number.
The parts of your payment
Your payment usually has four parts, known as PITI. That means principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. Many payments also include PMI or HOA dues.
Principal and interest stay fixed on a fixed-rate loan. Taxes and insurance can rise over time.
