Bangor mortgage calculator
A median-priced Bangor, ME home at 6.75% over 30 years, with Maine property tax of 1.24% and $1,300 a year of homeowners insurance. Every figure below is computed on our amortising engine — nothing is estimated in the browser.
$2,239 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $1,707; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $351,426 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $38,051 ($224,599 in today’s dollars).
Within Maine, Bangor is the cheapest of the 3 Maine markets covered here — Portland runs about 1.93x these prices. Buyers priced out of the expensive end of the state often end up comparing exactly this pair.
Bangor is cheaper than Maine as a whole — $292,500 against a state median of $390,000, roughly 25% below. On a 20% deposit that is $19,500 less to find up front.
Rents here are high relative to prices — a rent index of 0.85 against a price index of 0.75. That combination favours buying sooner, because the payment you avoid is larger relative to the price you pay.

Where these numbers come from
Maine medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Bangor 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.
