Guide

How it works

Use this calculator to estimate how much mortgage you may be able to afford.

What this calculator does

The mortgage affordability calculator estimates maximum monthly payment, maximum loan amount, and maximum property value.

It uses:

  • gross monthly income
  • monthly debts
  • annual interest rate
  • loan term
  • deposit percentage

Mortgage Affordability Formula

Max Monthly Payment = Gross Monthly Income x 28% - Monthly Debts

The calculator then converts that payment into an estimated loan amount.

Example calculation

If gross monthly income is 8,000, monthly debts are 500, and the mortgage rate is 6%, the calculator estimates the maximum loan and home value.

When to use this calculator

  • setting a home search budget
  • testing rate assumptions
  • checking debt impact
  • estimating deposit needs

FAQs

Is this mortgage approval?
