The Common Mistake

Most buyers only look at principal + interest, but real monthly cost is PITI + HOA + PMI + maintenance risk.

Why It Hurts

A payment that looks "safe" can become tight after taxes, insurance growth, and unexpected expenses.

We expose assumptions, model edge cases, and help you decide with confidence before signing.

Monthly PI Formula

M = P * r * (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1)

Where P is loan principal, r is monthly interest, and n is total months.

PMI Removal Rule

PMI modeled as active while current loan balance is above 80% of home price.

Lender-specific criteria may vary.
