Ohio Mortgage Calculator - Monthly Payment with Taxes, PMI & Insurance
Ohio property taxes are local and can include county, city, township, school, and special district levies. This state page uses a broad local property-tax benchmark and a baseline state conveyance fee; county and city pages override major Ohio mortgage markets. On a $400,000 Ohio planning example with 20% down at 6.5% for 30 years, principal and interest are about $2,023; at ~1.57% statewide property-tax planning rate, tax escrow is about $523/mo, for estimated PITI near $2,646 before PMI. Ohio school-district millage can dominate the bill; compare Franklin, Cuyahoga, and Hamilton county calculators for metro realism.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Ohio tax estimates vary by school district?
School district levies are often a major part of Ohio property-tax bills, so two homes in the same county can have different escrow costs. Use this state mortgage calculator to combine that assumption with principal, interest, insurance, and PMI, then drill into county or city pages when you have a specific address.
What Ohio assistance is modeled?
The state file models OHFA down payment assistance as a percentage of the loan amount for eligible first-time buyers. Use this state mortgage calculator to combine that assumption with principal, interest, insurance, and PMI, then drill into county or city pages when you have a specific address.
What is a sample Ohio PITI on $400,000?
With 20% down at 6.5% for 30 years, principal and interest are about $2,023. At ~1.57% statewide property-tax planning rate, monthly escrow is about $523; with $100 insurance, estimated PITI is about $2,646 without PMI. Drill into county or city calculators for address-level millage.
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.
