Florida Mortgage Calculator

FIN·US

A mortgage calculator that knows what state the house is in: principal and interest, plus Florida property tax at the state's effective rate (0.8% of value, ACS 2025 medians) and a closing-cost estimate in the CFPB's typical 2–5% range.

On Florida's median-priced home ($396,700) with 20% down at 6.5% over 30 years: $2,337 a month all-in — and $264 of it is property tax. The state's median tax bill is $3,180 a year; high-tax states add the equivalent of a second, smaller mortgage.

The loan Defaults start at Florida's median home value.

Loan: $317,360. Insurance estimated at 0.2% of value per year inside the monthly total.

Buying in Florida: the state layer

Property tax — 0.8% effective

The Census Bureau's ACS 2025 medians put Florida's typical bill at $3,180 on a $396,700 home — an effective 0.8%. Effective rates blend every local levy into one comparable number; your parcel's assessed value and local rates set the real bill.

Florida's property-tax quirk

Save Our Homes (Fla. Stat. s.193.155(1)): annual assessed-value increase on a homesteaded property capped at the lower of 3% or the CPI change (cap for 2026 = 2.7%); benefit is portable (up to $500,000) and resets to just value on change of ownership.

Closing costs — an estimate, labelled

The CFPB puts typical buyer closing costs at 2–5% of the loan (origination, appraisal, title, prepaid escrows). The default here is 3% and the field is yours to change — no official schedule exists, and this page will not pretend one does. Florida transfer/recording charges sit inside that range for most purchases.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the same loan dearer here than in another state?

Property tax. At 0.8%, Florida adds $264 a month on the median home — in the highest-tax states that rivals a full percentage point of interest rate.

Is the tax figure my actual bill?

No — it is the state's median effective rate applied to your price. Assessments, exemptions (homestead and others) and local rates move real bills both ways; the county assessor's figure governs.

What about PMI?

Below 20% down, lenders usually add private mortgage insurance (roughly 0.3–1.5% of the loan per year) until you reach ~20% equity. It is not in the default total — add it to the insurance line mentally if it applies.

Sources & verification. Property tax: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2025 1-year estimates (median real estate taxes paid ÷ median home value = effective rate — survey medians, labelled as such; your parcel’s bill follows its own assessment and local rates). Closing costs: CFPB guidance that buyers typically pay 2–5% of the loan in closing costs — an estimate range, adjustable on the page. Verified 4 November 2026.
