The original way I had mortgage debts setup was the same as all of the other debt accounts &#8211; simple balance adjustments based off of payment amount and interest rate. However, most mortgage accounts have an escrow account associated with them for property taxes, homeowners insurance, PMI, etc. Undebt.it will now allow you to take the escrow account into consideration with an &#8220;<em>escrow payment<\/em>&#8221; field that&#8217;s only visible on mortgage accounts. The &#8220;<em>monthly payment<\/em>&#8221; field should be your actual mortgage amount (without any of the escrow fees). If you don&#8217;t use an escrow account or don&#8217;t want to separate them, just use the full amount in the <em>monthly payment<\/em> field and leave the <em>escrow payment<\/em> at zero.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_446\" style=\"width: 857px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/undebt.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/mortgage_escrow_payment.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-446\" class=\"wp-image-446 size-full\" title=\"New &quot;escrow payment&quot; field\" src=\"https:\/\/undebt.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/mortgage_escrow_payment.png\" alt=\"New &quot;escrow payment&quot; field\" width=\"847\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/undebt.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/mortgage_escrow_payment.png 847w, https:\/\/undebt.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/mortgage_escrow_payment-300x151.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 847px) 100vw, 847px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New &#8220;escrow payment&#8221; field for mortgage accounts<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the example above, when you record your payment of <strong>$1,795<\/strong>, your payment history will show the <strong>$1,225<\/strong> amount paid to the loan, of which approx. <strong>$516<\/strong> of that will go to interest and the rest goes to the mortgage principal.
