taxes

I also include savings into an emergency fund because I see that as a "fixed expense".

Re: besides mortgage - estimate house expenses
Stuff like heating and electric you really can't "estimate".
That really depends on the size of the home. If you are in a small house like I have... i burn approximately 750 gallons of oil a year. I also spend about $160 a month on electric.
But if you are in a larger house... the electric can be double. Oil will be closer to 1000 gallons a year.
