Mortgage affordability calculator How much house can I afford?

Work backward from income, debts and down payment to a price range. Then ask whether you'd actually enjoy that payment.

Common assumptions: first payment one month after a single advance, no balloon; $0 prepaid finance charges, points or recurring loan fees. Budget inputs: $15,000.00 gross monthly income, $900.00 monthly debts, 1.250% annual tax, 0.500% annual insurance, $0.00 monthly HOA. Ratios are planning assumptions, not approval criteria; blank take-home pay produces no comfort-target loan. MI and program fees excluded; including them changes payment/APR. Taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA and mortgage insurance excluded; actual housing obligations will be higher. Not a quote or approval; rates change daily.

Insurance is set to 0.50% a year as a placeholder, not an average or a quote. In fire-prone areas it can cost much more, so get a quote for the actual address. Mortgage insurance and program fees are excluded.

A calculator uses guesses. We can price actual loans for your situation.

Rates, terms, and eligibility depend on credit profile, income, property, loan program, occupancy, market conditions, and underwriting approval.
