Formula Used

The total real property payment is calculated using the following formula:

Total Property Payment = (Property Value × Annual Tax Rate) + Annual Insurance + Annual Maintenance

If you select monthly results, the total is divided by 12.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the property payments for a $300,000 property with:

  • Annual tax rate of 1.5%
  • Annual insurance of $2,000
  • Maintenance of $3,000
Property Tax = $300,000 × 0.015 = $4,500 Total Property Payment = $4,500 + $2,000 + $3,000 = $9,500 Monthly Payment = $9,500 ÷ 12 ≈ $791.67

For this property, the total annual payment would be $9,500, or approximately $791.67 per month.
