Frequently Asked Questions
Why can Colorado property taxes vary by subdivision?
Many Colorado homes are inside overlapping metro and special districts. The same county can contain materially different tax bills depending on the property's district stack.
What Colorado buyer assistance is modeled?
The state file models CHFA down payment assistance as a conservative flat planning amount for eligible first-time buyers.
Does this mortgage calculator include taxes and insurance?
Yes. This calculator estimates your full monthly housing payment by combining principal and interest with property taxes, homeowners insurance, and PMI when your down payment is below 20%. The result reflects a PITI-style payment rather than principal and interest alone, which helps you compare homes and loan scenarios more realistically before talking to a lender.
When does PMI apply on a mortgage?
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) typically applies when your loan-to-value ratio exceeds 80%, meaning your down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price. PMI is usually added to the monthly payment until you reach sufficient equity. This calculator includes PMI in the estimate when your inputs trigger it, so you can see how a smaller down payment affects affordability.
Is a 30-year or 15-year mortgage better?
A 15-year mortgage generally has a lower rate and less total interest, but higher monthly payments because the loan is repaid faster. A 30-year mortgage spreads payments over a longer term, keeping the monthly cost lower while increasing lifetime interest. Use both term options in the calculator to compare monthly PITI and total interest for the same home price and local tax assumptions.
