Down Payment Calculator

Find out exactly how much cash you need to buy a home. Enter the home price, your desired down payment percentage, and estimated closing costs to see a full breakdown of upfront expenses.

How to Use

Enter the home purchase price, your down payment percentage (commonly 3%, 5%, 10%, or 20%), and the estimated closing cost percentage (typically 2-5% of the home price). Click calculate to see your down payment amount, closing costs, total cash needed, and loan amount.

Formula

Down Payment = Home Price × Down Payment %

Closing Costs = Home Price × Closing Cost %

Total Cash Needed = Down Payment + Closing Costs

Loan Amount = Home Price - Down Payment

A 20% down payment typically avoids private mortgage insurance (PMI). Closing costs usually range from 2-5% and include appraisal, inspection, title insurance, and lender fees.
