Example of Mortgage Payments Depending on Credit Score

Example 30 year mortgage rates (from myfico.com - see site for current rate estimates):

FICO score APR Monthly payment*
760-850 5.860% $2,362
700-759 6.082% $2,419
660-699 6.366% $2,493
620-659 7.176% $2,709
580-619 8.820% $3,167
500-579 9.679% $3,416

Amounts shown for borrowing $400,000 and rates as of May 7th. For scores above 620, the APRs above assume a mortgage with 1.0 points and 80% Loan-to-Value Ratio. For scores below 620, these APRs assume a mortgage with 0 points and 60 to 80% Loan-to-Value Ratio.

FICO scores are determined by your:

  • Payment history - 35%
  • Amounts owed - 30%
  • Length of credit history - 15%
  • New credit - 10%
  • Types of credit used - 10%
