1) Income & Debts

2) Loan & Down Payment

3) Monthly Costs

Applies when LTV > 80%. Typical range ~0.5%–1%/yr (varies by borrower & lender).

4) Policy Caps

Rule-of-thumb: ≤28% housing, ≤36% total debts.

How we compute affordability

We cap monthly housing cost by the smaller of (i) the front-end 28% of gross monthly income (if enabled) and (ii) your back-end DTI cap minus other monthly debts. Payment uses the standard fixed-rate mortgage (PMT) formula; PMI is included only when LTV > 80%.

Educational tool only; lenders vary by product/credit/underwriting.
