In the US, your monthly housing payment is often referred to as PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance). Understanding these components is crucial for budgeting.
Principal & Interest: This is the loan repayment. In the early years of a 30-year fixed loan, nearly 80-90% of this amount goes toward interest, not paying down debt.
Taxes & Insurance: Most lenders collect 1/12th of your annual Property Tax and Homeowners Insurance bill every month and hold it in an Escrow Account to pay the bills for you.
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is usually required if your down payment is less than 20%. It protects the lender (not you) if you default. It typically costs 0.5% to 1% of the loan amount annually and can be removed once you build enough equity (usually 20%).
