Guide d'utilisation complet

What is House Affordability?

House affordability is the maximum home price you can afford based on your income, existing debts, down payment, and loan terms. Lenders use debt-to-income (DTI) ratios to ensure you can repay the loan. The 28/36 rule is common: no more than 28% of gross income on housing (front-end DTI) and no more than 36% on all debts combined (back-end DTI).

Front-End vs Back-End DTI

Front-End DTI (28% guideline)

Housing payment (P&I, taxes, insurance, PMI, HOA) ÷ gross monthly income. Lenders prefer this under 28%.

Back-End DTI (36% guideline)

All monthly debts (housing + car, student loans, credit cards, etc.) ÷ gross monthly income. Lenders prefer this under 36%.
