How to use it
A two-minute guide.
The Home Price field is pre-filled with Arkansas's median home value (about $205,000). Override with your target home's actual price for a property-specific estimate.
The Property Tax Rate is pre-filled with Arkansas's average effective rate of 0.64%. Within Arkansas, 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 Arkansas's typical annual premium of approximately $2,100.
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 Arkansas median home, in dollar terms. At $205,000 with a 20% down payment, you bring $41,000 to closing (plus closing costs) and take out a $164,000 mortgage. At today's 6.50% 30-year fixed rate, your monthly principal and interest is roughly $1,037.
Arkansas's ongoing housing costs. The state's average property tax rate of 0.64% produces about $1,312 per year on a median-priced home — typically paid through escrow with your mortgage. Insurance averages $2,100/year in Arkansas.
Total monthly payment (PITI) on the median Arkansas home works out to about $1,321/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 Arkansas — 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.
