Debt-to-income ratio is only one part of mortgage qualification. Actual loan eligibility depends on credit profile, income, assets, debts, property details, loan program, interest rate, market conditions, documentation, and underwriting approval.
DTI assumptions above 43% may be available in some loan scenarios, but they can be more sensitive to credit profile, reserves, loan program, property type, and underwriting approval. This calculator is for planning only and does not represent approval, pre-approval, or loan eligibility.

A mortgage affordability calculator helps estimate a possible purchase price range based on income, monthly debts, down payment, interest rate, taxes, insurance, HOA, PMI, and DTI assumptions. It is a planning tool, not an approval decision.
Affordability is commonly influenced by gross income, existing debt, housing payment, down payment, loan term, interest rate, property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, and mortgage insurance. For payment planning, you can also compare this estimate with the mortgage calculator.
Debt-to-income ratio compares monthly debt payments with gross monthly income. Mortgage lenders may review both housing payment and total monthly debts, but requirements vary by loan program and underwriting guidelines.
