Home Purchase Calculator - How Much House Can You Afford?

Get Your Quote Learn More

Use our Home Purchase Calculator to see how much home you can afford based on your annual income, down payment, and current interest rates.

A good rule of thumb is using the 36/43 rule, which suggests that you shouldn’t spend more than 36% of your gross monthly income on housing related expenses and no more than 43% on total monthly payments, including your mortgage, credit card payments and other loans, like autos and student loans.

To calculate how much house you can afford, the home purchase calculator makes the assumption that with at least a 20% down payment, you might be best served with a Conventional loan.  However, if you are considering a smaller down payment, you might be better suited for an FHA loan or one of the low down payment options for first time home buyers.

This interactive Home Purchase Calculator is a great tool to determine your current buying power, or want to gain.
