Richmond mortgage calculator
A median-priced Richmond, VA home at 6.75% over 30 years, with Virginia property tax of 0.82% and $1,600 a year of homeowners insurance. Every figure below is computed on our amortising engine — nothing is estimated in the browser.
$2,754 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $2,207; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $454,151 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $139,270 ($417,267 in today’s dollars).
Within Virginia, Richmond is 5th of the 6 Virginia markets covered here, between Arlington at the top and Norfolk at the bottom of a 2.71x spread. A state-level median hides most of that.
Rents here are high relative to prices — a rent index of 1.05 against a price index of 0.90. That combination favours buying sooner, because the payment you avoid is larger relative to the price you pay.
Richmond is cheaper than Virginia as a whole — $378,000 against a state median of $420,000, roughly 10% below. On a 20% deposit that is $8,400 less to find up front.

Where these numbers come from
Virginia medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Richmond 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.
