$5,140 a month with 20% down at 7.11% — including property tax and insurance. You'd need an income of about $220,300.
On a $775,000 home with $155,000 (20%) down, you borrow $620,000. At 7.11% (30-year fixed, Freddie Mac average for the week of Nov 12, 2026), principal and interest come to $4,171 a month. Adding property tax at the U.S. average of 0.9% ($582) and insurance ($388) gives $5,140. Over 30 years you would pay $881,481 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 | $155,000 | $620,000 | $4,171 | $0 | $969 | $5,140 | $220,300 |
| 10% down | $77,500 | $697,500 | $4,692 | $291 | $969 | $5,952 | $255,100 |
| 5% down | $38,750 | $736,250 | $4,953 | $307 | $969 | $6,229 | $267,000 |
| 3.5% down (FHA) | $27,125 | $760,963 | $5,119 | $343 | $969 | $6,431 | $275,600 |
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.
