Understanding Your Monthly Mortgage (PITI)

When buying a home, your monthly mortgage payment consists of four core building blocks commonly referred to by the acronym **PITI**:

  • Principal: The portion of your payment applied directly to paying down the balance of the loan.
  • Interest: The charge imposed by the mortgage lender for supplying the funds.
  • Taxes: Real estate property taxes collected by your county or municipality, held in an escrow account.
  • Insurance: Homeowner's hazard insurance protecting the building structure against casualty loss.

Step-by-Step Worked Example

Consider a home purchase of **$400,000** with a **$80,000 down payment** (20%), financed at **6.8% interest** for **30 years**:

  1. Financed Principal: $400,000 - $80,000 = $320,000
  2. Base EMI (Principal + Interest): $2,086.07 per month
  3. Property Tax Escrow ($4,800/yr): $400.00 / month
  4. Home Insurance ($1,200/yr): $100.00 / month
  5. PMI: $0 (Down payment reaches 20%)
  6. Total Monthly PITI Payment: $2,086.07 + $400.00 + $100.00 = $2,586.07 / month

Frequently Asked Questions

What does PITI stand for?
PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance — the four core components of a complete monthly mortgage payment.
What is PMI and when does it apply?
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is required by lenders when your down payment is less than 20% of the home's purchase price. It protects the lender in case of default.
How can I eliminate PMI?
You can eliminate PMI by making a down payment of at least 20% at purchase, or requesting cancellation once your principal balance drops to 80% of the home's original appraisal value.
