Frequently Asked Questions
How does this affordability calculator work?
It estimates a maximum home price using a 50% back-end debt-to-income guideline (total housing payment plus other monthly debts up to 50% of gross monthly income), then works backward from a 30-year payment at the rate you enter, plus your down payment.
Is the result a loan approval?
No. This is an educational estimate only. Lenders also review credit, reserves, property type, loan program guidelines, and full underwriting. Your actual approval amount may be higher or lower than what the calculator shows.
What counts as monthly debts?
Include recurring obligations such as car loans, student loans, credit card minimums, and other installment payments. Do not include utilities or groceries. Accurate debt totals make the affordability estimate more useful.
Can I afford more with a different loan program?
Sometimes. FHA, VA, conventional, and other programs have different guidelines for down payment, mortgage insurance, and debt ratios. Text Village Mortgage and we can compare programs for your income and goals.
