When you rent there isn't a tax break. When you own your home two things are deductible: interest and taxes. So, two examples...

Example #1
Loan amount of $100,000 at 8%

$734 principle and interest
$ 75 taxes
$ 38 insurance
$847 total payment

$775 is deductible per month

$9300 total tax deduction per year
probably in this income range a 26% tax rate

$2418 tax reduction per year or $202 per month reduction

so your net payment is $645 per month

Example #2
Loan amount of $150,000 at 8%

$1100 principle and interest
$ 100 taxes
$ 45 insurance
$1245 total payment

$1,150 is deductible per month

$13,800 total tax deduction also 26% tax rate

$3,588 tax reduction per year or $299 per month reduction

So your net payment is $946 per month
