Oregon Mortgage Calculator

FIN·US

A mortgage calculator that knows what state the house is in: principal and interest, plus Oregon property tax at the state's effective rate (0.79% of value, ACS 2025 medians) and a closing-cost estimate in the CFPB's typical 2–5% range.

On Oregon's median-priced home ($507,900) with 20% down at 6.5% over 30 years: $2,987 a month all-in — and $334 of it is property tax. The state's median tax bill is $4,009 a year; high-tax states add the equivalent of a second, smaller mortgage.

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

Loan: $406,320. Insurance estimated at 0.2% of value per year inside the monthly total.

Buying in Oregon: the state layer

Property tax — 0.79% effective

The Census Bureau's ACS 2025 medians put Oregon's typical bill at $4,009 on a $507,900 home — an effective 0.79%. Effective rates blend every local levy into one comparable number; your parcel's assessed value and local rates set the real bill.

Oregon's property-tax quirk

Measure 50: Maximum Assessed Value grows at most 3%/yr and assessed value is the lesser of MAV or real market value; taxes use permanent district rates - market value alone overstates the tax base for long-held property.

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. Oregon 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 0.79%, Oregon adds $334 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.
