This mortgage calculator can be used to calculate monthly payments of a home mortgage loan. It automatically factors in PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) which is a common expense when less than 20% of the loan is paid as a down payment. The calculations also take into consideration the local property taxes based on the assessed value of the mortgaged property.
