Shreveport mortgage calculator
A median-priced Shreveport, LA home at 6.75% over 30 years, with Louisiana property tax of 0.56% and $6,000 a year of homeowners insurance. Every figure below is computed on our amortising engine — nothing is estimated in the browser.
$1,417 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $797; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $163,999 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $56,595 ($165,618 in today’s dollars).
Within Louisiana, Shreveport is the cheapest of the 4 Louisiana markets covered here — New Orleans runs about 1.77x these prices. Buyers priced out of the expensive end of the state often end up comparing exactly this pair.
Shreveport is cheaper than Louisiana as a whole — $136,500 against a state median of $210,000, roughly 35% below. On a 20% deposit that is $14,700 less to find up front.
At $136,500 to buy and $1,040 a month to rent, the price-to-rent ratio is 10.9 — low. Ownership tends to pull ahead quickly at that level, and the binding question is transaction costs rather than the monthly comparison.

Where these numbers come from
Louisiana medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Shreveport figures index those state medians to the local market, so they track the same feed rather than going stale. Insurance and the state income tax rate are editorial. Treat everything here as a planning estimate, not a quote.
