Okay so one of the biggest misconceptions is new buyers understanding really what the tax benefits the means of being able to write off the interest on a home so let's put a quick example together for you here let's make a couple assumptions let's first make the assumption you're buying a $350,000 house, and you're putting 5% downs that means you're financing three hundred and thirty-two thousand five hundred and let's just say five and a quarter percent interest, so that makes your payment 1836 a month that's principal and interest but of that 1836 1450 for that each month is going towards interest, so annually it's about 17 thousand 456 you'd pay an interest per year for this home under this example okay so let's take another gumption is to say your household incomes about eighty thousand and let's say you're in the twenty-eight percent tax bracket so other than other deductions that you have your annual tax bills about twenty-two thousand four hundred per year that you're obligated to pay in taxes before any deductions so in this case you have an interest write-off because you paid seventeen thousand 456 an interest for your home that actually makes your taxable income sixty-two thousand five forty-four, so literally your taxable income can straight off the top of that interest write-off so instead of being taxed at eighty thousand you're not being taxed at sixty-two five forty-four now at twenty-eight percent of that equals seventeen thousand five twelve per year you owe in taxes, so that's an annual savings of about forty-eight seventy-seven, so literally you get back in taxes or pay less in taxes of forty-eight hundred dollars 48 seventy-seven in this example that averages out to be about 407 per month, so you can see owning a home and paying interest on a mortgage is a huge tax benefit now a lot of people really don't understand how it works, so hopefully this has cleared that up a little for you
