Home Affordability Calculator

Set your own DTI cap. The calculator backs out the largest principal-and-interest payment your income supports after taxes, insurance, HOA, PMI, and other debts, then converts that to a loan amount and price.

Max monthly P&I

Assumed DTI cap 43.0%
Max loan amount

Max purchase price

Methodology

Max total debt = income × DTI cap. Max housing = max total debt − other debts. Max P&I = max housing − taxes − insurance − HOA − PMI. Max loan solves the standard amortization formula for principal.

Assumptions

Fixed rate for the full term. DTI cap and taxes/insurance/HOA/PMI are user-provided, not sourced from any live data.

Limitations

Program-specific DTI limits, automated underwriting findings, reserves, and compensating factors are not modeled. Use as a directional planning range.
