Your monthly mortgage payment comprises principal and interest, where the principal is the borrowed amount, and interest is the lender's charge expressed as an annual percentage. Additionally, an escrow account may collect funds monthly for property taxes and homeowners insurance, covering one-twelfth of the annual amounts. Homeowners insurance protects against various hazards, and if applicable, additional insurance for flood, hurricane, or earthquake may be required. Mortgage insurance is also added if the down payment is less than 20% of the home's purchase price.

While some loans allow a debt-to-income ratio of up to 50 percent, it's crucial to consider other living expenses.
