When you're buying a home, mortgage lenders don't look just at your income, assets, and the down payment you have. They look at all of your liabilities and obligations as well, including auto loans, credit card debt, child support, potential property taxes and insurance, and your overall credit rating. Use our new house calculator to determine how much of a mortgage you may be able to obtain.

This calculator will estimate your monthly Social Security amount based on the the income(s) and marital status provided. If you would like to override this estimated amount with a different amount, you may do so by entering that amount here.

Also known as the debt ratio, lenders use this ratio, along with the front-end ratio, to determine the maximum loan amount. Debt ratio equals your combined monthly mortgage payment plus any other monthly debt obligations, such as credit cards and alimony, divided by your gross monthly income. Use a back-end ratio of 33% for conservative results and as high as 42% for aggressive results (usually requires excellent credit and a higher down payment).
Also known as the housing ratio, lenders use this ratio along with the back-end ratio to determine the maximum loan amount. The housing ratio equals the combined (principal + interest + taxes + insurance) monthly mortgage payment divided by your gross monthly income. For example, a combined monthly mortgage payment of $1,200 divided by gross monthly income of $4,500 equals a housing ratio of 27%. Use a front-end ratio of 28% for conservative results and as high as 36% for aggressive results (usually requires excellent credit and a higher down payment).
