The payment is only half the question.
Closing costs are the other half, and they arrive all at once. This works out what the table asks for before you sit down.
Start with the property and the loan.
Set what you are buying or refinancing and what you would borrow against it. Every line moves as you type, with no button to press.
A starting assumption, not an offer. Your rate is priced to your file.
Interest is paid from the day you close through the end of that month, so a later date in the month means a smaller line here.

Where every dollar of it goes.
Four groups, itemised the way a settlement statement itemises them — what the lender charges, what others charge, what the county takes, and what is prepaid.
What moves these numbers, and what does not.
A few of these lines are set by where the property is, a few by the loan, and one by the day you sign.
Where the property is changes the bill
Transfer tax, recording and the mortgage tax are set by the state and the county, not by the lender. Two identical loans in two states close at different numbers, and the state control here is what moves them.
Escrow is your money, held early
The months of tax and insurance collected at closing are not a fee. They fund the account the lender pays those bills out of, and you would have owed them anyway — they are just due sooner than you might expect.
The day you sign moves the interest
Interest is prepaid from your closing day through the end of that month. Signing near the start of a month prepays nearly all of it; signing near the end prepays almost none, which is why closings cluster where they do.
The binding numbers come on a form
A lender has to give you a Loan Estimate within three business days of your application, and what is on it is what it is held to. This page is a way to know roughly what to expect before that arrives.
