Affordability

Also known as: how much house can I afford, max home price

An estimate of how much home you may be able to buy based on income, debts, and loan terms.

Home affordability estimates reverse the usual payment calculation: starting from income and debt-to-income guidelines, they work out a maximum housing payment, then a maximum loan and home price after taxes, insurance, and other costs. Results are educational planning tools-not pre-approvals or offers to lend.
