Kenosha mortgage calculator
A median-priced Kenosha, WI home at 6.75% over 30 years, with Wisconsin property tax of 1.53% and $1,500 a year of homeowners insurance. Every figure below is computed on our amortising engine — nothing is estimated in the browser.
$2,157 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $1,576; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $324,394 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $38,170 ($212,946 in today’s dollars).
Within Wisconsin, Kenosha is 3rd of the 4 Wisconsin markets covered here, between Madison at the top and Milwaukee at the bottom of a 1.63x spread. A state-level median hides most of that.
Kenosha is cheaper than Wisconsin as a whole — $270,000 against a state median of $300,000, roughly 10% below. On a 20% deposit that is $6,000 less to find up front.
Rents here are high relative to prices — a rent index of 0.95 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.

Where these numbers come from
Wisconsin medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Kenosha 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.
