Tips & Best Practices

💡
A 20% down payment typically eliminates the need for Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
💡
Making even one extra monthly payment per year can shave years off a 30-year mortgage.
💡
Remember that property taxes and insurance can increase over time, affecting your PITI.
💡
Use the "Bi-Weekly" mode to see how making 26 half-payments equals 13 full payments per year.
💡
Check the "Interest Saved" badge to stay motivated about making extra principal payments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What does PITI stand for in mortgage calculations?

PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance. It represents the complete, comprehensive monthly housing expense incurred by a homeowner.

Q What is Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) and when does it cancel?

PMI is required by conventional lenders when your down payment is less than 20% (LTV > 80%). Under the Homeowners Protection Act, PMI must be automatically canceled when your principal balance reaches 78% of the original purchase value.

Q Is a 15-year mortgage better than a 30-year mortgage?

A 15-year mortgage features lower interest rates and saves tens of thousands in interest, but carries higher monthly payments. A 30-year mortgage offers lower required monthly payments, providing greater budget flexibility.
