Understanding Your Payment

What Makes Up Your Monthly Payment

Principal & Interest

The largest portion of your payment goes toward repaying the loan (principal) and compensating the lender (interest). With a fixed-rate mortgage, this amount stays the same every month, but the ratio of principal to interest shifts over time.

Property Taxes

Michigan property taxes vary significantly by municipality. Your lender typically collects 1/12 of your annual tax bill each month and holds it in escrow. The default of $4,000/year is a Michigan average; check your specific community for actual rates.

Homeowners Insurance

Lenders require homeowners insurance to protect their investment. Michigan averages around $1,500/year, but costs vary by home value, location, and coverage level. Your lender collects this monthly via escrow as well.

PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)

If your down payment is less than 20%, lenders require PMI to protect against default. PMI typically costs 0.5% to 1% of the loan amount annually. It can be removed once you reach 20% equity in your home.
