Affordability Calculator
How much house can I afford?
I make $300,000 (300K) a year: How much house can I afford?
Using the assumptions shown—zero monthly debt, a 20% down payment, a 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.76%, 1.00% annual property tax, $1,800 annual homeowners insurance and no HOA dues—a $300,000 gross annual income supports a planning estimate of about $1,136,470 for the home price. That includes an estimated $227,294 down payment, a $909,176 mortgage and a total monthly housing payment near $7,000.
The calculation uses the lower of a 28% front-end housing limit and a 36% back-end total-debt limit. It is not a lender preapproval, and it does not account for closing costs, maintenance, utilities, cash reserves, income taxes or your other financial goals.
