Maximum Mortgage Qualification

What is your maximum mortgage you may qualify for? That largely depends on your income and current monthly debt payments. This calculator collects these important variables and determines your maximum monthly housing payment and the resulting mortgage amount.

 

Maximum Mortgage
Maximum Mortgage

At INTEREST_RATE your maximum mortgage is LOAN_AMOUNT for your income of YOUR_ANNUAL_INCOME.

YOUR_ANNUAL_INCOME provides for a maximum Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance (PITI) payment of LOAN_PITI. After taxes and insurance your principal and interest payment (PI) of LOAN_PI would pay for a LOAN_AMOUNT mortgage, with an interest rate of INTEREST_RATE and a term of TERM_IN_YEARS years.

Qualify Calculation

Your LOAN_PITI maximum monthly payment (PITI) is calculated by taking the lower of these two calculations:

1. Monthly Income X LOW_DEBT_PITI_RATE = monthly PITI
    Which is: YOUR_INCOME X LOW_DEBT_PITI_RATE = QLFY_PITI_ONLY

2. Monthly Income X HIGH_DEBT_PITI_RATE - Monthly Liabilities = monthly PITI
    Which is: YOUR_INCOME X HIGH_DEBT_PITI_RATE - MONTHLY_LIABILITIES = QLFY_PITI_DEBT
