02The calculator
Slide the numbers around. Everything updates live — principal and interest, taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance, HOA. Nothing you enter here is stored or sent anywhere.
Defaults are sample figures for a typical Twin Cities purchase. Home prices and property tax rates vary widely by city and county across Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa — Ashland will pull the real number for any address.

Under 20% down, so a sample PMI estimate (0.5%/yr) is included. It drops off a conventional loan at 20% equity.
- Loan amount
- Down payment cash
- Interest over the life of the loan
What the calculator can't know
Closing costs, assistance, and the real cash to close.
A payment is half the picture. Closing costs, prepaid taxes and insurance, seller credits, and Minnesota Housing, WHEDA or Iowa Finance Authority assistance all change what you actually bring to the table. That number is a five-minute text.
Calculator results are estimates for illustrative and educational purposes only, are not a quote, rate lock, pre-qualification or pre-approval, and accuracy is not guaranteed. Actual rates, payments, taxes, insurance and mortgage insurance vary by scenario. Contact Ashland for figures specific to your situation.
Numbers for a real house
