Frequently Asked Questions
Does Pennsylvania have a transfer tax?
Yes. The state realty transfer tax is modeled at 1% of the sale price. Local realty transfer taxes can apply in addition to the state tax and vary by municipality and school district.
What Pennsylvania assistance is modeled?
The state file models PHFA-style K-FIT assistance as a percentage of purchase price capped at a planning maximum for eligible first-time buyers.
Why include Montgomery County?
Montgomery County captures high-value Philadelphia suburbs including King of Prussia, Norristown, and Lower Merion-area demand.
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.
