Breaking Down A Typical Mortgage Payment
Principal
The principal is the amount that pays back and reduces the loan balance. As time passes, the amount you pay in principal each month will increase as the interest amount decreases. The number used here reflects the average principal payment in the first 12 months of the loan.
CLOSEInterest
Interest is the ongoing cost of borrowing the money. As time passes, the amount you pay in interest each month will decrease while the principal amount increases. The number used here reflects the average interest payment in the first 12 months of the loan.

CLOSEMore Details
Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance are the basic components of a typical monthly mortgage payment. Some properties may also have a common/maintenance charge (condos and co-ops), and some homes have a homeowner’s association fee (HOA). Some loan programs will also require Mortgage Insurance (MI) or Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). Beyond your regular payment, it is wise to budget for maintenance expenses. The cost of upkeep will vary with the age, type, size, structure and materials used.
This presentation assumes that the loan amount represents an 80% loan to value ratio. If you select an $80,000 loan amount, for example, the tax and insurance costs are based on a sales price of $100,000.
