AI Mortgage Calculator

An AI mortgage calculator estimates your full monthly payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, PMI and HOA) and then goes a step further: it tells you whether that payment actually fits your budget, what it costs you over 30 years, and where you could free up money to afford it.

Your AI mortgage breakdown

Most calculators stop at the number. Ours starts there. Once you have your payment, Bon Credit's AI looks at the whole picture and tells you three things.

Can you actually carry this?

We check the payment against the 28/36 rule, so you know whether lenders will see you as comfortable or stretched.

Where the money can come from

Scans for subscriptions you forgot about, fees you should not be paying, and better rates you already qualify for. That is real money toward a down payment or a bigger monthly cushion.

What is it really costing you?

A 0.5% rate difference or a 15 year term can swing your total interest by six figures. We show you the gap in plain numbers.

Affordability

How much house can you actually afford?

The lender answer and the real answer are different.

Lenders use the 28/36 rule: your housing payment should stay under 28% of gross monthly income, and all debt payments under 36%. Getting approved and being comfortable are two separate things.

The real answer depends on what your money is already doing. If $400 a month is leaking into subscriptions, fees and a credit card rate you could refinance, that is $400 of mortgage payment you did not know you had. That is the gap Bon Credit was built to close.

What is actually in your monthly mortgage payment

Everyone quotes you principal and interest. That is usually 70 to 80% of the real bill. Here is the rest.

Principal and interest

Principal and interest

The loan itself. Principal pays down what you borrowed, interest is what the lender charges. Early on, most of your payment is interest.

Property taxes

Property taxes

Set by your county, usually 0.3% to 2.2% of home value per year depending on the state. Paid monthly into escrow.

Homeowners insurance

Homeowners insurance

Required by every lender. Budget roughly 0.3% to 1% of home value annually, more in storm or wildfire zones.

PMI (private mortgage insurance)

PMI (private mortgage insurance)

Kicks in when you put down less than 20%. Typically 0.5% to 1.5% of the loan per year. It drops off once you hit 20% equity, which is worth planning for.

HOA dues

HOA dues

Condos and planned communities only. Not part of your mortgage, but it hits the same monthly budget, so we include it.

How we calculate your payment

Where M is the monthly principal and interest, P is the loan amount, i is your monthly interest rate (annual divided by 12), and n is the number of payments (years x 12).

Taxes, insurance and PMI are added on top based on your inputs or our regional estimates.

  • What this assumes: a fixed rate loan, taxes and insurance paid through escrow, and no rate changes. ARMs, buydowns and points will move your number.

  • What this is not: a quote. It is an estimate to help you plan. Your actual payment comes from a lender after underwriting.

M = P x [ i(1+i)^n ] / [ (1+i)^n - 1 ]

Frequently Asked Questions

Lenders use the 28/36 rule: keep your housing payment under 28% of gross monthly income and total debt payments under 36%. On a $100,000 salary, that is roughly $2,333 a month for housing. But approval and comfort are different things, which is why we check against your real spending.
Twenty percent avoids PMI and gets you better rates, but it is not required. Conventional loans start around 3%, FHA at 3.5%, and VA and USDA loans can be zero down. Less down means a bigger loan, PMI, and more interest over time. Run both and compare.
PMI is private mortgage insurance, required when you put down less than 20% on a conventional loan. It typically costs 0.5% to 1.5% of the loan per year. You can request cancellation at 20% equity, and lenders must remove it automatically at 22%. FHA loans work differently and often carry it for the life of the loan.
A 30 year gives you a lower monthly payment and more flexibility. A 15 year gets you a lower rate and can cut your total interest roughly in half, but the payment is significantly higher. If the 15 year payment leaves no breathing room, take the 30 and overpay when you can.
The principal and interest math is exact. Taxes, insurance and PMI are estimates based on your ZIP and loan details, so they can move once you get real quotes. Treat the result as a solid planning number, not a lender quote. Your final payment comes from underwriting.
