Calculate your estimated budget

Adjust your income, debts, down payment, interest rate, and loan term to estimate a home price range aligned with your monthly comfort level.

33% of gross monthly income toward housing
Estimated Maximum Home Price
$1,530,000

Based on your inputs, this is an estimated purchase range—not a lender pre-approval.

Estimated Monthly Housing Budget $9,625
Estimated Loan Amount $1,330,000
Principal + Interest $8,125
Taxes + Insurance / Month $1,850
This estimate assumes a conventional fixed-rate loan and does not include HOA dues, mortgage insurance, lender fees, reserves, or underwriting adjustments. Use it as a planning tool, then confirm with your lender.

How this calculator works.

Purchasing power depends on more than income alone. Here’s how the key variables interact—and why understanding them puts you in a stronger position before you tour your first property.

01

Income sets the ceiling

The calculator starts with gross annual income and converts it into a target monthly housing budget using the comfort ratio you choose.

02

Debt changes flexibility

Existing monthly obligations reduce what can comfortably go toward a mortgage payment and housing costs.

03

Cash changes buying power

A larger down payment can improve affordability by reducing the loan size and monthly principal and interest.
