A house affordability calculator determines the maximum home price you can comfortably purchase based on income, debts, down payment, and interest rate. Most lenders use the 28/36 rule: housing costs ≤28% of gross income, all debts ≤36%.

Pro Tip
Getting pre-approved before house hunting locks in your rate for 60–90 days and signals to sellers you're a serious buyer. Each percentage point in rate changes your payment by roughly $60/month per $100,000 borrowed.
