Homebuyers can use the all-new Tennessee Mortgage Calculator to compute their estimated mortgage payment with PITI, PMI, MIP, HOA, and best part of it all, their front-end and back-end debt-to-income ratios. Gustan Cho Associates has developed a unique user-friendly Tennessee Mortgage Calculator, unlike any other online mortgage loan house calculator. Homebuyers will no longer have to contact their loan officers every time they need to figure out if they go over their debt-to-income ratio when shopping for homes with higher property taxes.

Are Online Mortgage Calculators Accurate?

Most online mortgage approval calculators only compute the principal and interest portion of the monthly mortgage payment. They do not compute the rest of the components required to get an accurate monthly mortgage payment. Gustan Cho Associates Tennessee Mortgage Calculator calculates every component needed to get the most accurate monthly mortgage payment for any homebuyer to rest assured they will not get any surprise when it comes to how much they need to pay for their mortgage payment.

What Is The Formula for Calculating Monthly Mortgage Payment?

One of the most frequently asked questions we often get at Gustan Cho Associates is what is the formula for calculating monthly mortgage payments? Using the Tennessee Mortgage Calculator, it is just a matter of entering the numbers into the required fields. First select the loan program: Conventional, FHA, VA, Jumbo, or Non-QM. Then enter the purchase price followed by the down payment. Enter the interest rate. Check off the term of the loan amortization schedule (most borrowers will choose the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage). You will then get the principal and interest portion of your monthly payment. Continue and enter the property tax and homeowners insurance information. If your property has homeowners association dues (HOA dues) enter that number on the HOA box. The PMI and MIP will automatically populate unless you want to manually enter it. You will not get the estimated monthly mortgage payment. This number will consist of PITI, PMI, MIP, and HOA. Next, we will show you how your front-end and back-end debt-to-income ratio is calculated.

Tennessee Debt-To-Income Ratio Mortgage Calculator

Homebuyers can calculate their front-end and back-end debt-to-income ratio in a matter of seconds using the Tennessee Mortgage Calculator. The housing payment will auto-populate to the DTI Calculator and will be the first box on top. Enter the sum of all your minimum monthly debt payments on the box that states Minimum Monthly Debt Payments. These include the sum of all minimum credit card payments, mortgage, autos, and any other debts you pay on a monthly basis. If you have child support and/or alimony, those need to be included. Payment plans to the IRS and/or judgments creditors, need to be included. Minimum student loan debts need to be included. Once you have the total of all minimum monthly debt payments, enter that number in the box. The final step is to enter your monthly gross pre-taxed income on the box that says Gross Income per Month or Year. Once that number is entered, you will get your front-end and back-end debt-to-income ratio.
