Your all-in monthly cost (est.)
Adjust the numbers to fit your situation
SC taxes a primary residence at a 4% ratio with a school-tax exemption — far lower than the 6% investor rate.
Freddie Mac 30-yr avg (FRED), as of 2026-09-10 — a benchmark, not your rate.
Estimated all-in monthly
$10,184/mo
This is an estimate for planning only — not a loan quote or commitment to lend. Assumes a $1,699,000 price, 20% down, 6.76% rate over 30 years, and SC owner-occupied 4% + school exemption property tax. It excludes PMI/MIP, the VA funding fee, and closing costs. For reference, the current tax on record (MLS) is about $26,139/yr — that reflects the present owner's assessment, which may differ from yours. Confirm every figure with a licensed lender.
