FAQ
How much house can I afford on $110,000 a year?
With a 20% down payment and a 7.50% 30-year rate, the 28/36 rule points to a home around $369,000 — roughly $2,563 per month all-in (principal, interest, taxes and insurance). The binding constraint here is the front-end (28% housing) ratio.
What is the 28/36 rule?
Lenders typically want housing costs at or below 28% of gross monthly income, and total debt (housing plus car, student and credit card payments) at or below 36%. This page applies both and reports whichever limit binds first.
How much down payment do I need?
A 20% down payment avoids PMI entirely. On this income that is about $73,800. Putting 5% down lowers the cash you need but adds PMI and shrinks the price you qualify for.
