Calculate Your Estimated Texas Mortgage Payment

 

Texas Mortgage Payment Calculator Tips

Our calculator will help you estimate all four aspects. Before using the mortgage calculator below, here are a few notes and directions:

  1. Interest rate – rates vary based on loan program and can be heavily dependent on credit score. Give one of our licensed loan advisors a call and we can provide you some quotes and personal options. As of today, rates range anywhere from 3.750%-5.000% on a 30-year fixed in most instances, but will vary based on loan program, credit score, term, down payment and discount points.
  2. Loan term – the longest and most common mortgage term is 30 years, but there are options for 25, 20, 15 and 10. The term itself is the most important factor in your payment amount and how much money you save over the loan.
  3. Property tax – the county in Texas that your home (or future home) is in will assess the value of the home which will determine the property tax amount. The amount of tax will vary with each home. Because Texas doesn’t have state income tax, it does have some of the higher property tax rates in the country. For Property Tax estimates in your specific county, see the list below the calculator. We’ve taken the time to estimate the property tax percentages for each county throughout Texas.
  4. Homeowner’s Insurance – if you have decent credit and buying a newer home use .45% of your loan amount for a decent estimate. Use .55% if you’re buying an older home or have fair/poor credit (low-to-mid 600’s). If you live in a flood zone or may need hurricane coverage, your premiums will likely be higher.

PMI for the conventional mortgage are estimates only and should be used for calculating initial payments. Always call one of our loan advisors for more precise estimates

While using a payment calculator to estimate your mortgage is a great first step, once you’re ready to see if you qualify then apply online or give one of our trusted experts a call to help guide you through the process.
