Based on 28/36 debt-to-income ratio guidelines
Maximum Home Price is calculated based on lender guidelines that limit your housing expenses to 28% of your gross income and total debt payments to 36%.
Cash Required includes your down payment plus estimated closing costs (typically 2–5% of home price). Make sure you have emergency savings beyond this amount.
Monthly Payment includes principal, interest, property taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and PMI (if down payment is less than 20%).
Property taxes and insurance vary significantly by location. Check local rates for accurate estimates.
Start by entering your estimated household income, monthly debt payments, available down payment, interest rate, and preferred loan term. The calculator can help estimate a possible home price range based on those inputs.
You can also factor in estimated property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, and other monthly housing costs. These numbers are estimates and should be reviewed with a lender before making final decisions about your budget or loan approval.
