How Much Mortgage Can $75,000 a Year Support?
Start with $75,000 of yearly income and $600 of monthly debts. The page estimates the highest payment and the loan size.
The highest payment on the starting figures is $1,650.00. That supports a loan of $263,786.
How the limit is worked out
Lenders often use two rules of thumb. Housing should take about 28 percent of gross monthly income. All debt payments together should take about 36 percent. The calculator uses whichever limit is lower. Your income of $75,000 a year is $6,250 a month.
Worked example
Two limits apply. Housing can take $1,750.00 and the debt rule allows $1,650.00. The lower figure of $1,650.00 is the highest payment.
At 6.4 percent over 30 years that payment supports a loan of $263,786. Add $30,000 down and the price is $293,786.
