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

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

Home Inspections >Serious Inspections When you are involved in the process of buying a home, it is safe to assume that you will probably find one that you like, make an offer, and purchase it. There are many steps along the way, and more and more buyers in the market today want guarantees. Inspections by structural engineers and environmental specialists often turn up something wrong with the property you want to buy. Many sales have been halted or delayed because asbestos, lead, or radon was found on the property. If a problem has been found with the property you want to buy, ask yourself two questions: 1) Can the problem be fixed? 2) If so, what will it cost to repair it? Some of the following problems could keep you from purchasing a property, if: 1) the house rests on a fault line; 2) the water supply is contaminated; 3) there is a severe crack in the foundation; 4) the house is located under electro-magnetic power lines; 5) the house is contaminated with radon gas. Enlist your real estate agent's help in identifying the existence of any of these problems prior to buying property.
