How to Use the Home Affordability Calculator
To use this calculator, start by entering your annual income, estimated monthly debt payments, and the amount you can afford for a down payment. The calculator will consider these factors, along with common lending standards, to estimate the maximum home price you can afford.
For example, if your annual income is $90,000, your monthly debt payments are $600, and you have a down payment of $30,000, the calculator might estimate a maximum affordable home price of approximately $350,000. This estimate helps you set a realistic budget and ensures you’re shopping within a comfortable price range.
