An acronym for the four main components of a monthly mortgage payment: Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance.

Breakdown:

  • Principal: The money that goes towards paying down your loan balance.
  • Interest: The fee you pay to the lender for borrowing the money.

  • Insurance: Homeowners insurance to protect against damage.

Most lenders require an escrow account to pay Taxes and Insurance for you.
