Affordability calculator

Start from the payment you want

Choose a monthly payment that feels right and see the loan amount that fits it.

Many buyers start with a number in their head for the monthly payment. This calculator works backward from it. Add the rate your lender quotes and your best guess for taxes and insurance.

Everything included: loan, taxes, insurance, HOA and mortgage insurance.

Enter the monthly payment you are comfortable with and an interest rate to see the loan amount that fits.

This shows a loan amount, not a purchase price or a loan approval. How much you can borrow depends on your income, debts, credit and the lender, so a pre-approval gives you the real answer.

Today's mortgage rates

This chart comes from my preferred lender, Clarity Home Lending. Use it to see where rates are today, then plug a rate into the calculator above.

These are market rates, not a quote or an offer to lend. Your rate depends on your credit, your loan and the day you lock. Ask a lender for a Loan Estimate to see your own number.
