Home Affordability Calculator

Calculate home affordability for real estate investments and properties

How it works

Enter annual income, monthly debts, down payment, interest rate, and loan term. The calculator determines maximum home price you can afford using debt-to-income ratios.

Example

With $100,000 income, $500 monthly debts, and 20% down, you can afford approximately $375,000 home at 6.5% interest.
