Example
For a more precise understanding of the concept, let us have an example below:
Suppose a person bought a house on a mortgage, and pays $3,600 property tax each year, and bears the insurance of $1,200 of the house. If he takes a loan of $200,000 for 30 years at an interest rate of 7%, the monthly mortgage payment will be $1,330.60. Now find out the PITI by using the above data.
Given data
Property tax= $3,600 = $3,600 / 12 = $300
Property insurance = $1200 / 12 = $100
Monthly mortgage payment = $1,330.60
To Find
PITI = ?
Solution
By using the formula listed below, we can find the value of PITI.
PITI = monthly tax + monthly insurance + monthly mortgage payment
Putting values in the formula:
PITI = $300 + $100 + $1330.60
PITI = $1730.60
