Home Affordability Calculator

About This Calculator

The Home Affordability Calculator helps you estimate how much house you can realistically afford. It considers your income, debts, and other financial factors to provide a comprehensive assessment of your home buying power.

This Calculator Is Perfect For:

  • First-time homebuyers trying to understand their budget
  • Current homeowners planning to upgrade or downsize
  • Anyone wanting to understand their home buying power

How This Calculator Works

Our calculator uses standard lending guidelines to determine how much house you can afford:

28% Rule - Housing Ratio

Your monthly mortgage payment should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income. This includes principal, interest, taxes, and insurance (PITI).

36% Rule - Debt-to-Income Ratio

Your total monthly debt payments (including mortgage) should not exceed 36% of your gross monthly income.

Understanding Your Results

Maximum Home Price

This is the highest home price you might qualify for based on your inputs. We recommend staying below this amount for financial flexibility.

Monthly Payments

Your estimated monthly payments include mortgage principal, interest, property taxes, insurance, and other expenses you've entered.

Relação Dívida/Renda

This ratio helps lenders evaluate your ability to manage monthly payments. Lower ratios (below 36%) typically qualify for better loan terms.
