Understanding Your Mortgage Payment

Your monthly payment has several components. The principal and interest (P&I) payment is fixed for the life of a fixed-rate mortgage and is determined by your loan amount, interest rate, and term. Property taxes and insurance are typically escrowed — collected monthly by your lender and paid on your behalf.

If your down payment is less than 20%, you'll also pay Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), which typically costs 0.5%–1.5% of the loan amount per year. PMI can often be removed once you reach 20% equity.
