The 28\/36 rule is widely used by mortgage lenders and it\u2019s essential to understand when you apply to <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/real-estate-blog\/prequalify-for-mortgage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prequalify for a mortgage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can still qualify for a loan if your total debts are up to around 43% of your gross income, although you may not get the best interest rates.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of what each input field of the calculator means.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Annual income<\/strong>: This is your gross annual salary before taxes. If you have a co-buyer, enter their salary too. Your annual income is one of the main factors lenders consider when determining your ability to afford a mortgage, although it\u2019s not the only financial consideration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other income<\/strong>: Add any supplemental income you or your co-buyer may have, such as rental income, freelance work, or earnings from a side business.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Entering your city and state is important because property tax rates and insurance premiums vary substantially by location, directly impacting home affordability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loan term<\/strong>: A 30-year mortgage is the most common option for homebuyers. However, you can also select a 15-year mortgage. Your loan term will have a significant impact on your principal and interest costs, with shorter terms leading to higher monthly principal payments but lower total interest paid over time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Down payment<\/strong>: Building a <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/real-estate-blog\/down-payment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">down payment<\/a> is one of the most important <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/real-estate-blog\/how-to-buy-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">steps to buying a home<\/a>. Most homebuyers pay between 3% and 20%, with first-time buyers putting down 10% on average.<span class=\"citation-number\" data-tippy-content=\"National Association of Realtors \u2013 &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/research-and-statistics\/research-reports\/highlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers&quot;&gt;&quot;Highlights From the Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers&quot;&lt;\/a&gt; Accessed November 17, 2025.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;view-all-sources-link&quot; href=&quot;#article-sources&quot;&gt;View All Sources&lt;\/a&gt;\">[1]<\/span> Note that if your down payment is under 20%, you\u2019ll likely have to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI), which the calculator assumes is 1.1% of your home price annually.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monthly debt<\/strong>: This is your total monthly payments for non-housing debts, such as credit cards, car loans, student debt, spousal support, and child support.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Property tax<\/strong>: The calculator uses the national average effective <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/the-ultimate-guide-to-real-estate-taxes\/#property-taxes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">property tax rate<\/a>. However, property tax rates vary substantially, so for a more accurate estimate research and input the current rate for your state, county, or municipality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Homeowner&#8217;s insurance<\/strong>: We\u2019ve prefilled the calculator with the national average homeowner\u2019s insurance cost. Actual costs vary depending on location, home value, and other factors, so for a more accurate estimate find out what your insurance cost will likely be and input it above.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HOA fees<\/strong>: If your new property has HOA fees, enter them here. Not all homes are part of a homeowners\u2019 association, so leave this field blank if it doesn\u2019t apply to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Credit score<\/strong>: Enter your credit score here. Higher credit scores qualify for lower interest rates, which will have a big impact on affordability. If you have poor or moderate credit, consider taking some months before purchasing a home to improve your credit score, such as by making monthly payments and lowering your credit card utilization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-factors-that-impact-affordability\"><strong>Other factors that impact affordability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Our home affordability calculator is a good starting point for determining how much house you can or cannot afford. However, there are other factors that go beyond the calculator that will affect your ability to afford a home.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Employment history<\/strong>: Many lenders prefer borrowers who have at least two years of stable employment, either in the same field or with the same employer. Consistent income history shows an ability to pay back debts and reduces risk for lenders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Credit history red flags<\/strong>: Even if you have a good credit score, there could be issues on your credit report that may make lenders hesitant to lend to you. These can include bankruptcies, foreclosures, and multiple late payments.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Defaulted loans<\/strong>: Defaulting on past loans, such as auto loans or student loans, is a big concern for lenders. If you have any loan defaults, you may have to explain to your lender the circumstances around the defaults and why you\u2019re a lower risk today.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tax liens or judgments<\/strong>: Tax liens don\u2019t appear on credit reports, but they can still prevent you from qualifying for a mortgage.<span class=\"citation-number\" data-tippy-content=\"Experian \u2013 &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https:\/\/www.experian.com\/blogs\/ask-experian\/tax-liens-are-no-longer-a-part-of-credit-reports\/&quot;&gt;&quot;Tax Liens Are No Longer a Part of Credit Reports&quot;&lt;\/a&gt; Updated October 20, 2023.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;view-all-sources-link&quot; href=&quot;#article-sources&quot;&gt;View All Sources&lt;\/a&gt;\">[2]<\/span> Make sure all tax liens or judgments are resolved before applying for a home loan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recent large purchases<\/strong>: Making a recent large purchase, such as financing a new car or applying for several credit cards, right before applying for a mortgage can put your approval at risk. While these purchases may not show up on your credit report immediately, they will change your DTI ratio.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cash reserves<\/strong>: Some lenders require at least 2 to 6 months of mortgage payments in your savings. This is especially the case if there are other issues with your application, such as an unstable employment history or a past loan default.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-mortgage-rates-affect-affordability\"><strong>How mortgage rates impact affordability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Interest rates have a major impact on your ability to afford a home. For example, if you have a $400,000 loan, a 5% interest rate will cost you approximately $2,147 in principal and interest per month. But a 7% interest rate will increase your monthly payments to around $2,661, a difference of over $500 per month.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, interest rates fluctuate based on Federal Reserve policy and broader economic conditions. Currently, the average U.S. mortgage rate is 6.26%, but it was 6.84% one year ago and 2.72% five years ago. When <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/real-estate-blog\/top-mortgage-lenders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">choosing a mortgage lender<\/a>, you\u2019ll need to weigh not only their current rates, but for how long you can lock in those rates for.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a variable rate mortgage, you\u2019ll be exposed to fluctuation in rates. That can mean you\u2019ll enjoy a deal when rates are low, but you may be in for a shock if they suddenly go up.<\/p>\n<p>A fixed-rate mortgage will lock in your interest rate for a set amount of time, often 15 or 30 years. While a fixed-rate mortgage provides more stability, you could potentially be stuck with a higher interest rate unless you choose to refinance.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-house-can-i-afford-on-my-salary\"><strong>How much house can I afford on my salary?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Home affordability usually improves the higher your salary is.

Many mortgage lenders use the 28\/36 rule when determining your mortgage eligibility, although some allow up to 43% of total debt-to-income ratio. Always consult with your lender to get a clearer idea of what exactly their requirements are.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"faq-question\">How accurate is a home affordability calculator?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">\n<p>An online home affordability calculator provides a good starting point for determining your potential ability to buy a house at your target price range, but it\u2019s by no means a guarantee that you will qualify for that amount. Lenders have their own criteria and approval depends on many factors, including credit history and employment status.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"faq-question\">What\u2019s the difference between PMI and homeowners insurance?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">\n<p>Private mortgage insurance (PMI) protects the lender in case you default on your mortgage, and it\u2019s typically required if your downpayment is less than 20%. Homeowners insurance primarily protects you in case your home is damaged. Homeowners insurance is required for most mortgages, regardless of downpayment amount.
