Estimate your monthly mortgage payment in seconds. Free, no sign-up, built for Florida home buyers by Louis Doherty, NMLS #60093.
This calculator estimates the monthly payment on a Florida home loan from three inputs: the loan amount, the interest rate you expect, and the loan term. It returns principal and interest. A real Florida payment usually includes more than that, because property taxes, homeowners insurance and, in many cases, mortgage insurance and HOA dues are collected alongside it. Louis Doherty can walk you through the full figure for a specific property and loan program.

Principal and interest are the part this calculator returns. In Florida, three other items commonly sit inside the same monthly payment, and leaving them out is the most frequent reason an estimate feels low.
Property tax is assessed at the county level, so the same loan amount produces a different monthly figure in Palm Beach County than in Broward or Miami-Dade. Florida also offers a homestead exemption on a primary residence, which lowers the taxable value. Your lender normally collects an estimated monthly share into an escrow account and pays the county on your behalf.
Florida homeowners insurance carries wind and, in some locations, flood considerations that inland states do not. Premiums vary by county, by distance from the coast, by the age of the roof and by the construction of the building. Like taxes, insurance is usually escrowed monthly rather than paid annually.
If your down payment is below the threshold for your loan program, the payment will include mortgage insurance, and how it works differs between FHA and conventional financing. Condominium and planned-community properties add HOA dues, which are not part of the loan but are counted when a lender reviews what you can carry. Review FHA loan requirements in Florida if that program fits your down payment.
Use the calculator to test scenarios and narrow a price range. When you want a number you can plan around, Louis Doherty reviews the specific property, its county tax picture, an insurance estimate and the loan programs you qualify for, then gives you the whole payment rather than a piece of it. He handles every consultation personally. You can also compare every Florida mortgage program or review Louis Doherty's credentials and licensing before you call.
This calculator estimates your monthly principal and interest payment. Property taxes are not added automatically because they vary widely by county and property. As a rough planning figure, Florida property taxes often run about 0.8% to 1.3% of a home's value per year depending on the county, your assessed value, and exemptions such as the homestead exemption. Check your county property appraiser's website for local rates, then divide the annual amount by 12 and add it to your estimated payment.
PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance, the four parts of a typical monthly mortgage payment. Principal pays down your loan balance, interest is the cost of borrowing, taxes are your property taxes, and insurance covers homeowners insurance plus mortgage insurance if your loan program requires it. Lenders qualify you based on your full PITI payment, not just principal and interest.
Florida homeowners insurance premiums are among the highest in the country and vary significantly with the home's age, construction, location, and distance from the coast. Many South Florida homeowners pay several thousand dollars per year, and separate windstorm or flood coverage may be required for some properties. The most reliable approach is to get insurance quotes for the specific property before you commit and include that figure in your monthly budget.
No. This calculator runs entirely in your browser. There is no credit check, no sign-up, and no personal information required. Your credit is only checked if you later choose to apply for a mortgage and authorize a credit inquiry.
The math is exact for the numbers you enter, but the results are estimates, not a loan offer or rate quote. Your actual rate and payment depend on your credit profile, down payment, loan program, and market conditions, and your full monthly cost will also include property taxes and insurance.
