Before you start house hunting, knowing exactly how much home you can comfortably afford prevents overspending and financial stress. Our free home affordability tool analyzes your gross income, monthly debts, down payment savings, and current mortgage interest rates to calculate a realistic home price budget.
The calculator applies standard lending guidelines including the 28/36 debt-to-income rule used by most mortgage lenders. It factors in property taxes, homeowners insurance, and PMI costs to give you a complete monthly payment estimate rather than just the principal and interest portion that many tools show.
Plan your home purchase thoroughly by combining this tool with our mortgage calculator for monthly payment breakdowns, our down payment calculator for savings targets, our closing cost calculator for upfront expense estimates, our property tax calculator for ongoing costs, and our home equity calculator for future wealth projections.
