Understanding Your Mortgage Payment

Principal & Interest (P&I)

The principal is the amount you borrowed, and interest is what you pay the lender for borrowing the money. Early in your loan, most of your payment goes toward interest.

Property Taxes

Annual property taxes divided by 12. These are typically collected by your lender and held in escrow to pay your local tax authority.

Home Insurance

Required by lenders to protect their investment. Covers damage from fire, storms, theft, and other covered perils.

PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)

Required when you put down less than 20%. Protects the lender if you default on the loan. Can be removed once you reach 20% equity.
