About this tool
Lenders often limit the monthly home payment to about 28 percent of income and total debt payments to about 36 percent. Enter your yearly income, monthly debts, down payment, interest rate and term to see the maximum payment, loan and home price under that rule.
Frequently asked questions
What is the 28/36 rule?
A common guide: housing costs at most 28 percent of gross income and all debt payments at most 36 percent.
Is this what a bank will lend?
No. Banks look at more, such as credit history. Use it as a guide.
