What is PITI?
P-I-T-I is an acronym for Principle, Interest, Taxes and Insurance. It’s shorthand for the four elements of your mortgage payment usually expressed on a monthly basis.
P = the amount of your loan payment that applies to your principle pay down
Interest = the amount of your loan payment that applies to the interest you owe
Taxes = the amount of your property tax payment
Insurance = the amount of your homeowner’s insurance premium
Lenders will use this number to determine how large a mortgage you can afford.
