Dicno LabsTaxes & insurance
Estimate monthly escrow for taxes, insurance, PMI, and a simple cushion.
Free mortgage tool
An escrow calculator helps estimate the monthly amount a servicer may collect for property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, and related reserves. Escrow can make the monthly payment higher than principal and interest alone.
This tool divides annual tax and insurance costs by 12, adds monthly PMI if applicable, and estimates a simple cushion amount for planning. Actual escrow setup and analysis rules vary.
Use this with the PITI Calculator and Property Tax Calculator to understand how non-loan costs can affect monthly housing payment.
This calculator is for educational and planning purposes only. It is not financial advice, a loan approval, a tax bill, or a lender quote.

Formula
Monthly escrow equals annual property tax divided by 12, plus annual insurance divided by 12, plus monthly PMI and other annual escrow items divided by 12. Cushion is estimated as monthly escrow multiplied by cushion months.
With $4,800 annual taxes, $1,800 insurance, and $150 PMI, monthly escrow is about $700. A two-month cushion estimate would be about $1,400.
