School-tax homestead relief needs county approval
Pennsylvania's school property-tax relief uses approved homestead or farmstead exclusions. Homeowners apply through the county assessment office, and application timing affects the year in which relief is available. It is not an automatic reduction of every local tax.
For your estimate: Confirm approved status and obtain a complete bill including county and municipal charges. Do not use only the school-tax amount for Annual Property Tax (%).
Pennsylvania Education: property-tax reliefK-FIT is a second mortgage with staged forgiveness
PHFA's Keystone Forgivable in Ten Years program provides a second mortgage toward eligible down-payment and closing costs. It must be paired with qualifying PHFA first-mortgage products and follows a forgiveness schedule.
For your estimate: Have the lender identify the remaining balance if you sell or refinance before full forgiveness. This payment tool does not calculate the second lien's payoff.

Using local estimates in this tool
The tax field multiplies the home's price by a percentage. If your assessor estimates an annual tax bill, divide that bill by the entered home price and multiply by 100. Do not enter an assessment ratio or millage directly. For example, an illustrative $4,800 annual bill on a $400,000 price corresponds to 1.2%; these are not local averages.
This payment includes principal, interest, property tax and home insurance. Budget mortgage insurance, HOA dues, maintenance and closing costs separately.
Official resources and next steps
HUD housing and homeownership resources for Pennsylvania provides further counseling and housing contacts.
For FHA financing, use HUD's county and unit-count lookup. Select Pennsylvania, the property's county, the calendar year, and the number of units. The 2026 national one-unit floor of $541,287 is a baseline, not a determination of the limit for every county in Pennsylvania.

How to Use This Mortgage Calculator in Pennsylvania
Enter the price of the property you are considering in Pennsylvania, then adjust the down payment and rate. The payment combines principal, interest, property tax, and insurance. It does not include HOA dues, maintenance, or mortgage insurance.
For example, at the illustrative price of $258,000 and 6% down, the base loan is $242,520. These are calculation examples, not a statement about prices or typical buyers in Pennsylvania.
Compare the same home under different rates and down payments. A lower monthly payment from a longer term can still mean more lifetime interest. Confirm taxes and insurance for the property before relying on the estimate.
