How to Use the Down Payment Calculator

  1. Enter the home purchase price.
  2. Set your down payment percentage or use a quick preset (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%).
  3. Enter the interest rate and select a loan term.
  4. Click Calculate to see the down payment amount, loan amount, and monthly payment.

Why 20% Down?

Putting 20% down avoids Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), which typically costs 0.3% to 1.5% of the loan annually. However, many buyers purchase with as little as 3-5% down. Use the presets to compare different scenarios.
