These are estimates using standard formulas (amortization and the common 28%/36% guideline). They are not financial or real-estate advice — confirm any number with a lender or broker.

How the monthly payment is calculated

The monthly principal and interest is an amortizing loan: each payment covers the interest due plus a slice of the balance, so the balance falls over time. Add property tax, insurance and maintenance for the true monthly cost (PITI).

Miami housing facts

Miami prices jumped in recent years (median near $520k) and hurricane insurance is expensive. Property tax averages about 0.8%. The rent-vs-buy decision here is unusually sensitive to insurance and tax costs.

FAQ

How is the monthly mortgage payment calculated?

It is an amortizing loan: payment = loan × r(1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1), where r is the monthly rate and n the number of months. Add tax, insurance and maintenance for the full monthly cost.

What does the rent-vs-buy break-even mean?

It is the number of years you would need to stay before buying costs less than renting, on the assumptions you entered. Stay longer and buying usually wins; move sooner and renting usually wins.
