🧮 How This Mortgage Calculator Works

This calculator uses industry-standard formulas to help you understand your buying power:

1️⃣ Purchase Inputs

You will enter:

• Purchase Price
• Down Payment
• Loan Amount
• Interest Rate
• Loan Term (Years)

The system automatically calculates your principal & interest payment based on those numbers.

2️⃣ Monthly Payment Breakdown

Your estimated payment includes:

• Principal & Interest
• Property Taxes
• Homeowner’s Insurance
• Private Mortgage Insurance (if applicable)
• HOA or Condo Association Fees (optional)

This gives you a realistic total monthly payment (PITI).

3️⃣ Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio

We calculate:

• Front-End Ratio (Housing%)
• Back-End Ratio (Total DTI%)

These ratios show how much of your income goes toward housing and total debt.

4️⃣ Qualification Indicator

Based on your DTI, the calculator will show:

✔ Approved

Your debt-to-income ratio is strong and meets traditional lending guidelines.

⚠️ Borderline

You may still qualify, but approval depends on lender review, credit, and compensating factors.

❌ Not Approved

Your total debt-to-income ratio is above typical limits. You may need to reduce debt or increase income before applying.

🧠 Why DTI Matters When Buying a Home

Lenders use your Debt-to-Income ratio to determine:

• How much you can safely borrow
• Your maximum loan amount
• What loan programs you qualify for

Keeping your DTI below 36% gives you the strongest chance of approval.
Most lenders set the maximum between 43% – 50%, depending on credit and loan type.
