How this estimator works

  • Total interest = total paid − principal

  • Principal + interest only (fees/taxes/insurance excluded)
  • Program fees, escrow, and eligibility rules are not modeled
  • Lender rounding may cause small differences

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official USDA or FSA tool?
No. It’s an independent estimator using standard loan math. Official program documents and lender disclosures may differ.

Why might my actual payment be different?
Fees, escrow, insurance, and program-specific terms can change the payment. This estimate is principal + interest only.

How can I reduce my monthly payment?
A longer term may reduce payment but usually increases total interest. A larger down payment reduces the amount financed.
