A 10% down payment is less cash at closing, and it usually means mortgage insurance until the balance falls. The table uses the example rate of 6.75% and a 30-year term.
At 10% down, the loan is above 80% of the price, so this model adds an example PMI charge of 0.50% of the loan per year. That charge is not a lender quote.

The estimated monthly payment is $2,968.28. Principal and interest are $2,334.95, property tax is $333.33, insurance is $150.00, PMI is $150.00.
Taxes, insurance, HOA, and PMI are held flat in this model. A real PMI bill can end after the balance falls, and taxes or insurance can change. The interest total assumes the rate stays fixed and you pay the scheduled amount.
Same price, down payment, and rate. The lowest total interest is labeled in words. A shorter term usually raises the monthly principal-and-interest payment.

On a $400,000 home, 10% down is $40,000 and the example principal and interest is $2,334.95. At 20% down on the same home, principal and interest is $2,075.51.
Taxes in the estimated housing column are 1% of the price per year. Insurance is $1,800 a year. HOA dues are not included.
The actual monthly cost also depends on homeowners insurance for that property, mortgage insurance when the down payment is under 20%, and any HOA fee. This site is not a lender, and these figures are not a loan offer.
In this model, yes. The loan is more than 80% of the price, so the example PMI rate of 0.50% a year is added. A lender's PMI price depends on credit and the loan.
No. 6.75% is an example rate. The calculator uses an example interest rate for illustration. Actual mortgage rates vary with the market, the borrower, the loan type, credit, and the lender.
