How Much House Can I Afford? Home Affordability Calculator

Use our free home affordability calculator to estimate how much house you can afford in 2026 based on your gross income, monthly debts, down payment, and an example interest rate you can change. We turn your debt-to-income ratio and budget into a maximum purchase price plus an estimated monthly payment with Texas property tax, insurance and PMI. Once you have a number, run our monthly payment calculator, refine your DTI, or compare with the rent vs buy calculator.

Income & Assets

Home affordability FAQ

Lenders look at your debt-to-income ratio (DTI): your total monthly debts, including the new house payment, divided by your gross monthly income. This calculator starts at 36%, a conservative target. Many conventional and FHA loans approved through automated underwriting allow 43% to 50%, so you may qualify for more than the result shows, but a lower DTI leaves more room in your monthly budget.
The payment includes principal and interest, property tax, homeowners insurance, HOA dues and, when you put less than 20% down, an estimate for private mortgage insurance (PMI). Your other monthly debts, such as car payments, student loans and card minimums, come out of the same DTI budget.
If your down payment is less than 20% of the price, the calculator adds PMI at 0.5% of the loan per year. That is an estimate; actual PMI depends on your credit score and down payment and can be higher or lower. You can change the rate in the PMI field. FHA and VA loans price mortgage insurance and fees differently.
Texas has no state income tax, so local property taxes are among the highest in the country. Every 0.25% of tax rate on a $300,000 home adds about $63 a month to the payment, which lowers the price you can afford. The default 2.29% is a typical combined rate for a San Antonio address; enter your own county rate for a closer number.
Not necessarily. The maximum is the most a lender may approve, not what fits your budget. Leave room for savings, repairs, utilities and closing costs, which often run 2% to 5% of the price in Texas. Many buyers set a target below the maximum.
