Frequently Asked Questions
How much house can I afford?
A common guideline is that your total monthly housing payment should stay within about 28% to 36% of your gross monthly income, and your total debts (including the housing payment) within roughly 36% to 43%. This calculator estimates a maximum home price by applying your chosen debt-to-income target to your income after existing monthly debts.
What is a debt-to-income (DTI) ratio?
Your debt-to-income ratio is the share of your gross monthly income that goes toward debt payments. Lenders look at it to gauge how much new mortgage payment you can comfortably take on. Many conventional loans target a total DTI around 36%, and some programs allow up to 43% or higher with strong credit and reserves.
Does this include taxes and insurance?
This estimate is based on principal and interest for the loan. Property taxes, homeowners and windstorm insurance, flood insurance where required, and any HOA dues are additional and will reduce the price you can afford. Use the mortgage calculator to layer those in, and talk to a lender for a precise pre-approval.
