How much is a mortgage payment in Maryland?

For a typical $400,000 home in Maryland with a 20% down payment ($80,000) on a 30-year loan at 6.47%, the full monthly payment works out to about $2,483. That breaks down as $2,016 in principal and interest, $307 in property tax and $160 in homeowners insurance — so taxes and insurance add roughly $467 a month on top of the loan itself.

In Maryland, property tax is the bigger of those two costs. The calculator above uses Maryland's real figures by default, but every input is editable — drop in your own price, down payment, rate and HOA for an exact number, and add a loan type (FHA, VA or USDA) if you're not putting 20% down.

Maryland property tax and home insurance

Maryland's average effective property tax rate is 0.92% of a home's value — the 21st highest of the 50 states and DC (the 31st lowest). On a $400,000 home that's about $3,680 a year, or $307 a month, escrowed into your payment. Property tax is the part of a mortgage that varies most from state to state, which is why a national calculator can be well off for Maryland.

Average homeowners insurance in Maryland runs about $1,918 a year for $300k of coverage — $625 below the US average of $2,543, the 32nd highest in the country. It's close to the national norm, so insurance is a moderate part of your Maryland payment.

Maryland mortgage payment by home price

Because Maryland's tax rate and insurance are fixed shares of the cost, the monthly payment scales with the price. With 20% down at 6.47%:

$300,000 home → about $1,902/mo · $400,000 home → about $2,483/mo · $500,000 home → about $3,064/mo (all including Maryland tax and insurance).

Putting less than 20% down adds private mortgage insurance (PMI) until you reach 20% equity, and a lower rate or longer search for insurance can meaningfully cut the Maryland figure. Use the inputs above to model your own scenario and see the amortization schedule.

What's included in a Maryland mortgage payment (PITI)

A mortgage payment has four parts, often shortened to PITI: Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance — plus PMI if you put down under 20% and any HOA dues. In Maryland, principal and interest on a $320,000 loan come to $2,016, then Maryland's property tax ($307) and insurance ($160) are collected monthly into an escrow account and paid on your behalf.

This calculator computes all of PITI for Maryland, shows a full amortization schedule, and estimates how much an extra monthly payment or biweekly schedule would save you in interest over the life of the loan.
