Tax And Insurance Tables


The amounts shown for taxes and insurance are estimates; for a specific property, ask your Realtor. THE TABLES BELOW ASSUME THAT THE PROPERTY HAS HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION. To figure your estimated total monthly payment, use the tables, adding the amounts for taxes and insurance for your particular sales price, and then add that to the principal and interest that you have already calculated.


Monthly Estimated Amounts For Taxes And Insurance


For prices over $200,000, use $1.25 per thousand for taxes and 40 cents per thousand for insurance, for a total of $1.65 per thousand of sales price (e.g. $210,000 would be 200 x 1.65 = $330 per month for taxes and insurance.).

If mortgage insurance is applicable (and it is when the downpayment is less than 20% of the purchase price), then add 43 cents per thousand dollars of loan amount for 10% down, and 65 cents per thousand for 5% down. Hence, for a $100,000 loan, the monthly mortgage insurance with 10% down would be about $43, and $65 when the downpayment is 5%. For FHA loans, add 42 cents per thousand, or $21/mo for a $50,000 loan. The monthly mortgage insurance is always applicable except on 15 year loans with a downpayment over 10%; the downpayment has no effect on the Up Front Premium; if no premium is paid to FHA then it's not an FHA loan.
