Mortgage payment on a $475K house
$3,150 a month with 20% down at 7.11% — including property tax and insurance. You'd need an income of about $135,000.
On a $475,000 home with $95,000 (20%) down, you borrow $380,000. At 7.11% (30-year fixed, Freddie Mac average for the week of Nov 12, 2026), principal and interest come to $2,556 a month. Adding property tax at the U.S. average of 0.9% ($357) and insurance ($238) gives $3,150. Over 30 years you would pay $540,262 in interest.
Payment by down payment
Putting less than 20% down means a bigger loan and mortgage insurance, so the monthly payment rises:
| Down payment | Cash down | Loan | Principal + interest | PMI / MIP | Tax + insurance | Total / month | Income needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20% down | $95,000 | $380,000 | $2,556 | $0 | $594 | $3,150 | $135,000 |
| 10% down | $47,500 | $427,500 | $2,876 | $178 | $594 | $3,648 | $156,300 |
| 5% down | $23,750 | $451,250 | $3,036 | $188 | $594 | $3,818 | $163,600 |
| 3.5% down (FHA) | $16,625 | $466,397 | $3,137 | $210 | $594 | $3,942 | $168,900 |
Assumes a 30-year fixed loan at 7.11%, property tax of 0.9% of the home value a year, homeowners insurance of 0.6% a year, PMI of 0.5% of the loan a year when the down payment is under 20%, and FHA mortgage insurance of 0.55% a year plus a 1.75% upfront premium added to the loan. Your rate, taxes and insurance will differ.
