Mortgage Affordability Calculator guide
The mortgage affordability calculator helps you estimate how much home you can afford based on your down payment, interest rate, and monthly budget. We prefill $400,000, 10% down, and a 6.9% rate—adjust these to see how different scenarios change your payment. Lenders typically use a debt-to-income (DTI) ratio; use our DTI calculator to see how your income and debts affect what you qualify for.
Property taxes, insurance, and PMI all affect affordability. The calculator includes them in the total monthly payment so you see the full picture, not just principal and interest. Add extra payments to model accelerated payoff, or switch to biweekly to see interest savings. The amortization table shows how your balance declines over time.
All calculations run client-side. No data is sent to servers. Install the PWA for offline use.
