Free Down Payment Calculator

Work out your down payment, closing costs, mortgage insurance and time needed to save.

The down payment is the price times your percentage, and the loan is the rest, with a standard payment calculation. If you put down under 20 percent, a yearly mortgage insurance rate is applied to the loan; closing costs are a percentage of price, and the gap to your savings is divided by your monthly saving.

How to use the Down Payment Calculator

  1. Enter the amount, interest rate and term. Pick your country at the top so the currency matches.
  2. Compare the monthly payment, total interest and payoff date in the result.
  3. Change one number at a time, such as a higher payment, to see what it saves.

Tips for better results

Plan for closing costs on top of the down payment, since they add several percent of the price. A smaller down payment lowers the cash needed but raises the loan and insurance cost.

Compare offers using the total cost, not just the monthly payment.

Even a small extra payment each month can shorten the term noticeably.
