The lender’s number
Add an annual income on the left and this shows the debt-to-income ceiling a lender would underwrite to, next to the number above.

For informational purposes only. This is an estimate of purchasing power, not a pre-approval, a commitment to lend, or advice. The payment-based figure excludes property tax, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, mortgage insurance, closing costs, and reserves. The debt-to-income figure uses a 36% guideline; real underwriting varies by programme, credit score, documentation, and lender overlays. Talk to a licensed lender before making an offer.
