Second Home Mortgage Calculator

Estimate the monthly payment on a second home or vacation property. Second-home loans usually require a larger down payment and stronger credit than a primary residence — enter your price, down payment, and rate to see the full PITI payment.

Frequently asked questions

How much down payment does a second home need?

Lenders typically require at least 10% down on a second home, and often more, versus as little as 3–5% on a primary residence. Adjust the down payment field to match your lender's requirement.

Are second-home mortgage rates higher?

Yes — because a second home is a higher risk to lenders, rates are usually a bit above primary-residence rates. Enter your quoted rate to see the true monthly cost.

Can I rent out a second home?

A true second home is for personal use; renting it out can reclassify it as an investment property with different loan terms. If you plan to rent it, use the investment property calculator instead.
