Reno mortgage calculator
A median-priced Reno, NV home at 6.75% over 30 years, with Nevada property tax of 0.55% and $1,300 a year of homeowners insurance. Every figure below is computed on our amortising engine — nothing is estimated in the browser.
$3,882 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $3,284; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $675,820 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $6,349 ($330,335 in today’s dollars).
Within Nevada, Reno is the most expensive of the 4 Nevada markets covered here. Prices here run 1.39x those in North Las Vegas, the cheapest market listed, so a statewide average badly understates what a purchase costs on this side of the state.
The price-to-rent ratio here is 22.6 ($562,500 to buy, $2,070 a month to rent), which is high. Renting and investing the deposit is a genuine alternative in Reno, not a fallback position.
Reno carries a premium over the rest of Nevada: a median home here runs $562,500, about 25% above the state median of $450,000. The deposit moves with it, so the same 20% down is $112,500 rather than $90,000.

Where these numbers come from
Nevada medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Reno 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.
