To use this calculator, input your annual income, monthly debt payments, down payment, loan term, and interest rate. You can also adjust the property tax and insurance rates to see how they affect your affordability. Select the appropriate debt-to-income ratio based on your loan type.
The formula considers your annual income, monthly debts, and the selected debt-to-income ratio to calculate the maximum monthly mortgage payment you can afford. It then uses the loan term and interest rate to determine the maximum home price.
For example, if you have an annual income of $120,000, monthly debts of $500, a down payment of $20,000, a 30-year loan term, and an interest rate of 6.5%, the calculator will determine the maximum home price you can afford.
Remember that this calculator provides an estimate. Actual affordability may vary based on lender criteria and other factors. Always consult with a financial advisor or mortgage professional for personalized advice.
