Using This Calculator

• Property Tax: Tax rates in the Richmond MSA average to $0.85 per $100. For specific tax rate in the area you are purchasing please visit that county’s website or give them a call. Real estate taxes are calculated by multiplying the property’s assessed value by the current tax rate. For example:, if the tax rate is $0.85 per $100 of assessed value and the property is assessed at $200,000, you multiply $200,000 by 0.0085, which gives you an annual tax of $1,700.
• Property Insurance: A good rule of thumb is to divide the value of the property by 1,000, then multiply by $3.50. So a $200,000 property would be $700 annually, or $58.34 monthly. Insurance cost can vary by provider, coverage, location, and value of property, for a more accurate quote please consult with your insurance company.
• Mortgage Insurance: These rates can vary and are typically determined as part of underwriting of your loan. Generally if your loan to value is less than 80% you will not be required to pay for mortgage insurance. This calculator only provides a rough estimate on how much it may cost.
