What's Your Maximum Mortgage?

What is your maximum mortgage? 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.

Definitions

Monthly income

Total monthly income from all sources. All income should be entered before taxes.

Monthly housing expenses

Your monthly houses expenses from the housing expenses worksheet. The items entered as housing expenses make up the taxes and insurance portion of your monthly PITI payment.

Monthly liabilities

Your monthly liabilities from the liabilities worksheet. Your monthly liabilities are used to calculate your maximum PITI.

Monthly housing payment (PITI)

This is your total Principal, Interest, Tax and Insurance (PITI) payment per month. This includes your principal, interest, real estate taxes, hazard insurance, association dues or fees and principal mortgage insurance (PMI). Maximum monthly payment (PITI) is calculated by taking the lower of these two calculations:

1. Monthly Income X 28% = monthly PITI
2. Monthly Income X 36% - Other loan payments = monthly PITI

Maximum principal and interest (PI)

This is your maximum monthly principal and interest payment. It is calculated by subtracting your monthly taxes and insurance from your monthly PITI payment. This calculator uses your maximum PI payment to determine the mortgage amount that you could qualify for.

Start interest rates at

The current interest rate you could receive on your mortgage. This is used as the starting point for displaying a range of interest rates and the resulting mortgage amount.

Term in years

The number of years over which you will repay this loan. The most common mortgage terms are 15 years and 30 years.

Making An Offer >Buying Fast Many buyers who find a house that looks perfect after house-hunting for only a couple of weekends hesitate to make an immediate commitment. They want to buy the house but are reluctant to make an offer without having looked at more properties. Whether you are in a buyer's or seller's market, the best homes usually get snapped up quickly. When you find a great home that is well-priced, you may not have much time to think it over. Although it is difficult to make such an enormous purchasing decision without at least "sleeping on it," you could lose the house to another buyer if you hesitate. On the other hand, if you go rushing forward, you may spend some time nursing a case of "Buyer's Remorse." Working with a professional real estate agent can make your decision much easier. Your agent can provide information about recent sales of homes in the area and answer any questions you may have. Keep in mind that a real estate agent's job is to find you a property that you want to buy, not to show you a lot of houses that won't interest you!
