How to use it
A two-minute guide.
The Home Price field is pre-filled with Alabama's median home value (about $225,000). Override with your target home's actual price for a property-specific estimate.
The Property Tax Rate is pre-filled with Alabama's average effective rate of 0.41%. Within Alabama, rates vary by county — if you know your specific local rate from your county assessor or last tax bill, override it for a more precise estimate.
The Home Insurance default reflects Alabama's typical annual premium of approximately $1,400.
Adjust the Down Payment slider to compare scenarios. Below 20% down triggers PMI; the calculator adds it automatically and flags it.
How it works
The math behind the result.
The Alabama median home, in dollar terms. At $225,000 with a 20% down payment, you bring $45,000 to closing (plus closing costs) and take out a $180,000 mortgage. At today's 6.50% 30-year fixed rate, your monthly principal and interest is roughly $1,138.
Alabama's ongoing housing costs. The state's average property tax rate of 0.41% produces about $923 per year on a median-priced home — typically paid through escrow with your mortgage. Insurance averages $1,400/year in Alabama.
Total monthly payment (PITI) on the median Alabama home works out to about $1,331/month at current rates with 20% down and no HOA. Putting less down adds PMI; HOA dues add separately if your specific neighborhood requires them.
Your specific city matters. Median home prices vary widely within Alabama — major cities are usually 30-100% above the state median, rural areas can be well below. For city-specific calculators with local home prices pre-filled, use the city links below.
