Maine Mortgage Calculators

Maine is between Massachusetts and New Hampshire on most of this. Property tax rates spread widely: Portland runs about $15 per $1,000, Lewiston and Brunswick closer to $25, while towns like York are under $11. The Real Estate Transfer Tax is $2.20 per $500 of sale price, split between buyer and seller. MaineHousing’s First Home Loan (3.5% down) and Advantage program ($5,000 to $10,000 toward down payment) make the entry point lower than most buyers realize. Homestead protects $80,000 per individual owner.

This page collects GoldCoast Mortgage’s Maine-specific calculators. The general-purpose calculators (PMI, fixed-rate payment, etc.) live on our main calculators page covering Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.

Why generic calculators miss Maine

Maine’s wide town-rate spread means same-priced homes can have very different annual tax bills. A $400,000 home in Portland carries roughly $6,000 per year in property tax. The same home in Lewiston carries closer to $10,000. The same home in York is under $4,400. A national-average mortgage calculator gives you the same monthly number for all three, and it would be off by hundreds per month. GoldCoast Mortgage builds these tools because Maine buyers deserve actual numbers, not national averages.

For a precise pre-approval number on your specific scenario, talk to GoldCoast directly. We’ll model your actual mortgage payment with the right town tax data and program eligibility.
