Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is PITI?
-
PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance. These are the four main components of a monthly mortgage payment. This calculator helps you estimate your PITI by allowing you to include annual taxes and insurance.
- How can I reduce the total interest paid?
-
You can reduce the total interest paid by choosing a shorter loan term, making a larger down payment (which reduces the loan amount), or finding a lower interest rate. Making extra payments towards the principal can also significantly reduce the total interest paid.
