Down Payment Calculator
Calculate how long it will take to save for a home down payment.
Saving for a Down Payment
A down payment is typically 20% of the home price to avoid PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance), though lower down payment options exist (3-5% for some programs). The time needed depends on your target amount, current savings, monthly contribution, and the interest earned on savings. Setting up automatic monthly transfers to a dedicated savings account can help you stay on track toward your goal.
