A. There are many mortgage payment calculators on the web. You can try this one: Interest rates in my area are just under 6%. With the value you mentioned, the estimated monthly payment for Principal and Interest ONLY would be $857.36. But there are other aspects to take into consideration. Will you be paying mortgage insurance? Are you going to escrow the property taxes and homeowners insurance? Are you planning on capitalizing any or all of your closing costs (adding them into the mortgage). Are any points involved? You might want to contact a local loan officer to help you get a more exact figure. I hope that helped! Patti Ann
