How Much Should Your Income Be?
What income is required to qualify for a mortgage? That largely depends on your monthly debt payments and the current interest rate. This calculator collects these important variables and determines your required income to qualify for your desired mortgage amount.
Definitions
- Desired mortgage amount
- The total loan amount you are looking to qualify for.
- Monthly housing expenses
- Your monthly houses expenses from the housing expenses worksheet. The items entered as housing expenses make up the taxes and insurance portion of your monthly PITI payment.
- Monthly liabilities
- Your monthly liabilities from the liabilities worksheet. Your monthly liabilities are used to calculate your maximum PITI.
- Monthly housing payment (PITI)
- This is your total Principal, Interest, Tax and Insurance (PITI) payment per month. This includes your principal, interest, real estate taxes, hazard insurance, association dues or fees and principal mortgage insurance (PMI). Maximum monthly payment (PITI) is calculated by taking the lower of these two calculations:
- Monthly Income X 28% = monthly PITI
- Monthly Income X 36% - Other loan payments = monthly PITI
- Maximum principal and interest (PI)
- This is your maximum monthly principal and interest payment. It is calculated by subtracting your monthly taxes and insurance from your monthly PITI payment. This calculator uses your maximum PI payment to determine the mortgage amount that you could qualify for.
- Start interest rates at
- The current interest rate you could receive on your mortgage. This is used as the starting point for displaying a range of interest rates and the resulting mortgage amount.
- Term in years
- The number of years over which you will repay this loan. The most common mortgage terms are 15 years and 30 years.

Remodeling and Renovations >Professional Advice
Before you undertake a major renovation or redecorating project, call a professional real estate agent for advice about how your plans will impact the marketability of your home. We will be glad to provide a free consultation with no obligation--even if you are not planning to make a move in the near future.
Sellers often spend a lot of money on changes that won't increase the value of their homes. They may customize their home by creating unusual room arrangements that won't work for most buyers or by adding bold wall paper that may not have wide appeal.
Overall buyer appeal should be your main consideration even when you are remodeling for your own enjoyment. You should also consider whether you could recover your expenses if you were to sell the house soon because personal circumstances or career opportunities can create unexpected changes in your housing needs.
