Down payment: Depending on your home loan type, a typical down payment is usually 20% - though some types of loans will let you put down less - and even, in some cases, nothing.

In addition to the principal and interest, there are other upfront and monthly costs to consider as part of the homebuying process: A standard 30-year fixed mortgage, for example, would have 360 payments (30 x 12 = 360). To find this, multiply the number of years in your loan term by 12 (the number of months in one year) and you'll get your total number of payments.

This calculator excludes expenses like private mortgage insurance, a down payment, closing costs and attorney fees.
