Down Payment Calculator

Calculate how much you need for a down payment and how much you'll need to borrow. A larger down payment means lower monthly payments and often better loan terms.

Down Payment Formula

Down Payment = Price × (Percentage / 100) | Loan = Price - Down Payment

Standard home down payments: 20% (no PMI), 10%, 5%, or 3.5% (FHA). Cars: typically 10-20%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 20% down payment recommended for homes?
With 20% down, you avoid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), get better interest rates, and have immediate equity. However, lower down payments are available.
What is PMI?
Private Mortgage Insurance protects the lender if you default. It's required for down payments under 20% and typically costs 0.5-1% of the loan annually.
