Tap an example to prefill the calculator with sample values.
Two-income household
$165k income, $950 monthly debt, 20%+ down
A realistic household budget where the payment must stay within a standard backend DTI limit.
Result: Affordability rises with income, but taxes, insurance, and HOA still materially reduce the headline home price
Higher-debt buyer profile
$118k income with heavier recurring debt
A useful stress case for buyers who have strong income but less room after student loans, cars, or credit obligations.
Result: Debt service compresses the affordable home price much faster than many buyers expect
