Mortgage affordability calculator — how much house can I afford?
Before house hunting, it helps to know what you can realistically afford. This calculator estimates a recommended maximum purchase price.
Key inputs
Gross monthly income, recurring monthly debts, expected down payment, interest rate and loan term. Optional: property tax and insurance.
How we estimate affordability
We compute common lender ratios (front-end and back-end) to return a practical maximum price and expected monthly payment.
Practical tips
Increase down payment, reduce debts, or improve your credit to increase affordability. Always add a buffer for closing costs.
