Gain insight into the affordability of a potential home purchase by utilizing this mortgage affordability tool. It offers an estimate of the suitable purchase price, incorporating specific criteria.

To start, conventional lending guidelines recommend that your monthly housing expenses should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income. This ensures that you have ample funds available for other financial commitments.

Additionally, the calculator takes into account a debt-to-income ratio of 45% or less. This ratio considers various monthly financial obligations, such as mandatory credit card payments, car loans, student loans, alimony/child support, existing housing payments (rent or mortgage), property maintenance for rental units, and periodic payments for personal loans, excluding the new mortgage you are aiming for.
