Loan Amount : This is the total amount which you need to buy the house, principal amount plus down payment. Basically this is the actual price which is costing you for buying the house excluding interest, taxes and other charges. 

Down Payment : Banks do not trust customers easily, so they made a policy of depositing certain amount before giving you a home loan, just in case the customer stops paying installments. Down payment is the upfront amount that needs to be deposited to get a home loan.

Amortization Period : The total tenure to repay the loan amount in weekly, monthly or yearly installments is called the amortization period. For home loan or any other loan for huge amount, this period is generally more than ten years, however, you can make it shorter as per availability of your funds. 

Interest Rate : Interest rate is the percentage of the total amount you pay other than the principal amount and is decided by the concern bank or credit union. Interest rates can vary for all financial institutions. It is not fixed. Interest rates depends on the economy, however, you can lock the rate but then it will increase by one point. Let's say while taking a home loan agreed interest rate was 3.8% and you don't want it to fluctuate, in that case you can lock it at 4.8%. 

Maintenance : Where there is fire there is smoke and so is expenses of owning a house, This amount gets added to the total mortgage so that you can figure out the actual amount you need to pay for the property. This can very every year or every month, it mostly depends on personal choices. Lets say you want to use expensive furniture and art works, in that case maintenance cost will increase for sure.

Rental Income : This is the rent you receive every month in case you rent your property. This amount gets subtracted from the total amount in the Free Mortgage Calculator.

Property Tax : It depends on the worth of the property on that particular year. It is determined by the local tax authority. It may change every year depending upon the location of the property. This is a liability so it gets added to the total amount in the Free Mortgage Calculator.

Home Insurance : Any form of natural or unforeseen circumstantial calamities is covered by home insurance. It is mandatory if you are applying for a home loan. This also comes under liability while calculating mortgage.

Mortgage Insurance : This is the insurance which is beneficial to the lenders when there is a default of payment. It can be taken off when 80% of the mortgage payment is paid.
