How This Estimate Works

Lenders look at your debt-to-income ratio (DTI): your total monthly debt payments, including the new housing payment, divided by your gross monthly income. This calculator works backward from the DTI limit you set to find the home price whose full payment, principal, interest, property taxes, insurance, HOA, and mortgage insurance when it applies, fits within it.

Affordability is more than a ratio. Credit, cash reserves, the loan program, and the property all play a part, and the payment you're comfortable with may be lower than the maximum a program allows.

Self-employed? Income may be calculated differently than it is for W-2 earners. Try the Bank Statement Income Calculator to estimate qualifying income from your deposits, then bring that number back here.

This calculator is for illustration and educational purposes only. Results are estimates based on the information you enter and example rates; they are not a loan offer, rate quote, pre-approval, or commitment to lend. Actual rates, payments, terms, and eligibility depend on credit, income, property, program guidelines, and lender approval. Not all borrowers or properties will qualify.
