New York Mortgage Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average mortgage payment in New York?
The average monthly mortgage payment in New York State is approximately $2,800–$3,200 for a median-priced home outside NYC. In New York City, payments range from ~$3,200/mo in the Bronx to over $8,000/mo in Manhattan. NYC's high home prices and unique closing costs — mansion tax, MRT — make it one of the most expensive markets in the US. Use the calculator above to see your specific numbers.
Does New York have a mansion tax?
Yes. New York's mansion tax is a one-time tax on all residential purchases of $1,000,000 or more. The rate ranges from 1% (on purchases of $1M–$1.999M) to 3.9% (on purchases over $25M). The tax is calculated on the entire purchase price — not just the amount above the threshold — and is paid by the buyer at closing. A $1.5M purchase = 1% rate = $15,000 mansion tax.
What is the NYC Mortgage Recording Tax (MRT)?
The NYC Mortgage Recording Tax is charged on all new mortgages in the five boroughs: 1.80% on loans under $500,000 and 1.925% on loans of $500,000 or more. On a $600,000 mortgage, you'd owe $11,550. This is in addition to your down payment and other closing costs. Co-ops are exempt from the MRT because co-op transactions are structured as stock purchases, not real property transfers.
What is a co-op flip tax in NYC?
A flip tax is a transfer fee charged by a co-op building's board when a unit is sold. Despite the name, it applies to all sales — not just quick flips. Most buildings charge 1–3% of the sale price, with 2% being standard in Manhattan. On a $1.2M sale, a 2% flip tax = $24,000, typically paid by the seller. Always review the co-op's proprietary lease and offering plan before bidding to find the exact flip tax amount.
How much income do I need to afford a home in NYC?
Using the 28% housing-cost rule: a median Brooklyn home (~$870,000, 20% down) requires ~$195,000/year in income. A median Manhattan condo (~$1,350,000, 20% down) requires ~$350,000+/year. These figures exclude NYC-specific closing costs. Many NYC buyers combine income with a partner or family member. Use the calculator above to find your exact payment and work backward to see what income is needed.
What is the property tax rate in New York City?
NYC's effective property tax rates look low — approximately 0.66% in Brooklyn and 0.88% in Manhattan. However, the city assesses properties at only a fraction of their market value. Tax increases on Class 1 (1-3 family) properties are capped at 6% per year and 20% over 5 years. This benefits long-term owners significantly, but new buyers effectively pay more as the assessed value catches up. Always request the current tax bill — not just the rate — before closing.
What first-time homebuyer programs are available in New York?
SONYMA (State of New York Mortgage Agency) is the main resource. Key programs: Achieving the Dream (income at or below 60% AMI — lowest rates + up to $15,000 down payment assistance), Low Interest Rate Program (first-time buyers at or below 97% AMI — below-market 30-year fixed), and Conventional Plus (good-credit buyers — reduced MI and fees). All SONYMA programs require a HUD-approved homebuyer education course. Visit hcr.ny.gov/sonyma for eligibility and income limits by county.
Should I buy a co-op or condo in NYC?
Co-ops (roughly 75% of NYC residential buildings) are generally cheaper per square foot but require board approval, often 20–25% down, and most charge a flip tax. Condos cost more per square foot but offer easier financing, no board interview, and freedom to sublet. Condos are subject to the NYC Mortgage Recording Tax; co-ops are not. If price is your priority and you meet board requirements, co-ops offer better value. If flexibility is your priority (subletting, selling quickly), condos are worth the premium.
