How is my Idaho mortgage payment calculated?

Your total monthly payment (PITI) combines principal & interest (amortized using your loan amount, rate, and term), 1/12th of the annual property tax (home value × 0.63% ÷ 12), and 1/12th of your homeowners insurance premium.

Does Idaho require mortgage recording or transfer taxes?

Idaho does not charge a state-level real estate transfer tax, which lowers overall closing costs compared to states that do. Standard closing costs still apply, including title insurance, lender fees, and recording fees.
