Ohio Mortgage Calculator

FIN·US

A mortgage calculator that knows what state the house is in: principal and interest, plus Ohio property tax at the state's effective rate (1.22% of value, ACS 2025 medians) and a closing-cost estimate in the CFPB's typical 2–5% range.

On Ohio's median-priced home ($254,100) with 20% down at 6.5% over 30 years: $1,586 a month all-in — and $258 of it is property tax. The state's median tax bill is $3,107 a year; high-tax states add the equivalent of a second, smaller mortgage.

Buying in Ohio: the state layer

Property tax — 1.22% effective

The Census Bureau's ACS 2025 medians put Ohio's typical bill at $3,107 on a $254,100 home — an effective 1.22%. Effective rates blend every local levy into one comparable number; your parcel's assessed value and local rates set the real bill.

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. Ohio 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 1.22%, Ohio adds $258 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.

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.
