About this tool

Home affordability is really a cash-flow and debt-limit problem, not only a house-price problem. This calculator helps users connect income, monthly debt, rate, tax, and insurance assumptions to a more grounded purchase budget.

How to use this calculator

1. Enter the main planning inputs first, such as amount, rate, term, or contribution.
2. Check the assumptions behind the result, especially rate, taxes, fees, or timing.
3. Use the output as a planning baseline rather than a final legal or lender-approved figure.
4. Review the formula steps so you can see exactly how the estimate was constructed.
