The loan figures are exact for a fixed-rate loan at the rate you entered. Everything else is whatever you typed in: we do not know your tax bill, your insurer’s price or your closing costs, and the mortgage insurance rate starts as our guess at 0.6% of the loan a year. Cash at closing is the down payment plus closing costs, paid in cash rather than added to the loan. Your lender will quote the real figures.
