About this tool

Lenders size your mortgage with the 28/36 rule: housing costs (PITI — principal, interest, taxes, insurance) ≤ 28% of gross income, and total debt payments ≤ 36%. This calculator runs the math from your income, monthly debts, down payment, rate and term, then shows the approved-price estimate — plus a “comfortable” version at 25% for people who like sleeping well.

FAQ

What counts in the 36%?
All monthly debt: car loans, student loans, credit-card minimums, plus the new housing payment.
Is 28% the same as what I should spend?
It is the approval ceiling, not advice — many buyers are happier 5 points under it, which is why the comfortable number is shown.
