The full monthly cost
A lender will add property tax, homeowners insurance and, below 20% down, PMI. Example with 10% down at 6.5% for 30 years:
| Principal & interest | $5,688.61 |
|---|---|
| Property tax at the U.S. effective rate (0.89%) | $741.67 |
| PMI at 0.5% a year (example rate) | $375.00 |
| Subtotal before insurance and HOA | $6,805.28 |
Freddie Mac estimates PMI at about $30–$70 a month per $100,000 borrowed — $270 to $630 a month on this $900,000 loan. Property tax varies by location: the same home would pay about $227 a month at Hawaii’s 0.27% effective rate and $1,602 at Illinois’s 1.92% (Census ACS 2024).
Income needed for a $1,000,000 house
