$5,472 a month with 20% down at 7.11% — including property tax and insurance. You'd need an income of about $234,500.
On a $825,000 home with $165,000 (20%) down, you borrow $660,000. At 7.11% (30-year fixed, Freddie Mac average for the week of Nov 12, 2026), principal and interest come to $4,440 a month. Adding property tax at the U.S. average of 0.9% ($620) and insurance ($413) gives $5,472. Over 30 years you would pay $938,350 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 | $165,000 | $660,000 | $4,440 | $0 | $1,032 | $5,472 | $234,500 |
| 10% down | $82,500 | $742,500 | $4,995 | $309 | $1,032 | $6,336 | $271,600 |
| 5% down | $41,250 | $783,750 | $5,272 | $327 | $1,032 | $6,631 | $284,200 |
| 3.5% down (FHA) | $28,875 | $810,057 | $5,449 | $365 | $1,032 | $6,846 | $293,400 |
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.
