What property-tax rate does this Virginia mortgage calculator use?

It uses Virginia's effective real-estate tax rate of 0.73% of home value per year, from WalletHub's "Property Taxes by State in 2026" study (median tax payment ÷ median home price), as of 2026-02-17. Virginia property tax is actually set locally by county/city/school district and varies within the state, so treat 0.73% as a statewide average estimate, not a quote for a specific address.

How much is homeowners insurance in Virginia?

The average homeowners-insurance premium in Virginia is about $2,074/yr for a policy with $300,000 dwelling coverage — below the $2,543 national average — per Insurance.com / Quadrant Information Services data as of 2026-03-20. Your own quote depends on the home's rebuild cost, age, claims history and the coverage you choose.

What is the total monthly mortgage payment on a $400,000 home in Virginia?

On a $400,000 home with 20% down ($80,000) at 6.5% over 30 years: principal & interest ≈ $2,023, Virginia property tax ≈ $243/mo (0.73%), homeowners insurance ≈ $173/mo. That is about $2,439/mo total (no PMI at 20% down). Use the calculator for your own numbers.

Does the calculator include PMI?

Yes. If your down payment is under 20%, it adds private mortgage insurance estimated at 0.5%/yr of the loan balance (the typical conventional-loan mid-range; actual PMI runs roughly 0.2%–2%/yr). At 20% or more down, no PMI is added.

Virginia Monthly Mortgage Cost Calculator

Your real monthly mortgage payment in Virginia is more than principal and interest — it is PITI: principal, interest, property tax and insurance (plus PMI if you put down less than 20%). This calculator uses Virginia’s real figures rather than a national guess:

Property tax: Virginia’s effective rate is 0.73% of home value per year (WalletHub “Property Taxes by State in 2026” effective real-estate tax rate, as of 2026-02-17).
Homeowners insurance: the Virginia average is $2,074/yr for a $300,000 dwelling — below the $2,543 national average (Insurance.com / Quadrant Information Services ($300,000 dwelling), as of 2026-03-20).

Enter your home price, down payment, rate and term below. Everything runs in your browser — no inputs are transmitted.

Estimate only. Virginia property tax is set locally (county/city/school district) and varies within the state; the 0.73% rate is a statewide average. Insurance is a state average for a $300k dwelling; your quote will differ. HOA dues and closing costs are excluded. Not a loan offer or tax advice.
