Income, debts and down payment stay the same; only the rate changes.

ƒHow this is calculated

  • Housing budget = the lower of (income × housing ratio) and (income × total debt ratio − other debts), using gross monthly income.
  • Max price is solved so that principal & interest + taxes + insurance + HOA + PMI equals the budget.
  • Income needed = the higher of (payment ÷ housing ratio) and ((payment + debts) ÷ total ratio), × 12.
  • Actual approvals depend on credit, reserves, loan program and automated underwriting, and many approved loans exceed 28/36.
