Save On Property and/or Mortgage Interest

This illustration gives you an idea of the money you can save each year through mortgage interest and property tax deductions. During the first year, your mortgage interest payment on a $90,000.00 loan with a ten (10%) percent interest rate is $9,000.00.

Property taxes amount to a little over 1.25% ($1,258) of the home’s market value.

If you are in the 28 percent tax bracket, your yearly tax savings through these two deductions will come to $2,872.

To calculate monthly tax savings:

Purchase Price    $100,000
Less Down Payment -  $  10,000
Mortgage Amount =  $  90,000
Interest Rate x  10%
1st Year Mortgage Interest (Interest only) =  $  90,000
Property Taxes +  $    1,258
Total Tax Deductible Items =  $  10,258
Owner’s Tax Rate x  28%
Tax Saving =  $    2,872
Monthly /  12
Monthly Tax Savings =  $       239

To calculate monthly payment after taxes:

Monthly Payment (PITI) + (PMI)
(Includes principal, interest, taxes, insurance and private mortgage insurance)

790+105+25+30 = Gross Payment   $    950
Monthly Tax Savings -  $    239
NET MONTHLY PAYMENT (After Taxes) =  $    711

This information is provided only as a possible tax deduction. You will need to consult with a qualified accountant for an accurate statement as to any tax deduction you may receive.
