Determining how much house you can afford depends on several factors, including your income, expenses, debts, and credit score. Generally, financial experts recommend that you spend no more than 28% to 36% of your gross monthly income on housing expenses.
To get a rough estimate of how much house you can afford, you can use the following formula:
Maximum Affordable Monthly Payment = (Gross Monthly Income x 0.28) - Monthly Debt Payments
This formula assumes that you have a 20% down payment and that your total housing expenses, including mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, and any other related costs, will not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income. It also assumes that your total debt payments, including credit card debt, car loans, and student loans, will not exceed 8% of your gross monthly income.
Keep in mind that this is just a rough estimate and that you should consult with a financial advisor or mortgage lender to get a more accurate picture of how much house you can afford based on your specific financial situation.
