Understanding Your Mortgage Payment
Principal & Interest
The core of your monthly payment. Principal reduces your loan balance, while interest is the cost of borrowing. Over time, more of your payment goes toward principal as your balance decreases.
Property Tax
California property tax averages 1.1% of your home's value annually. This calculator estimates your monthly escrow payment, which is typically collected by your lender and paid to the county on your behalf.
Home Insurance
Homeowners insurance protects your investment. California rates vary by location and home value. This calculator uses average estimates; actual rates depend on coverage level, deductible, and local risk factors.
Down Payment Matters
A larger down payment means a smaller loan amount, lower monthly payments, and potentially better interest rates. Putting down 20% or more typically eliminates PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance), saving you money each month.
