Jackson mortgage calculator
A median-priced Jackson, MS home at 6.75% over 30 years, with Mississippi property tax of 0.75% and $3,300 a year of homeowners insurance. Every figure below is computed on our amortising engine — nothing is estimated in the browser.
$1,189 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $776; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $159,794 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $81,696 ($196,700 in today’s dollars).
Within Mississippi, Jackson is the cheapest of the 4 Mississippi markets covered here — Southaven runs about 1.50x these prices. Buyers priced out of the expensive end of the state often end up comparing exactly this pair.
Jackson is cheaper than Mississippi as a whole — $133,000 against a state median of $190,000, roughly 30% below. On a 20% deposit that is $11,400 less to find up front.
At $133,000 to buy and $978 a month to rent, the price-to-rent ratio is 11.3 — 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
Mississippi medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Jackson 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.
