House Can You Afford?
How much





How much you can afford is determined by a relatively simple formula. Lenders generally figure that no more
than 28 percent of your income should be for total housing costs. In addition, they require that your total monthly
debt be less than 36 percent of your income. (Note: These are general numbers. Other loan programs may allow
higher percentages.)


For example, if you make $48,000 a year, divided by 12 months, your monthly income is $4,000. (Remember,
that’s $48,000 in gross pay, before federal and state taxes are removed.) Twenty-eight percent of $4,000 is $1,120.
That is the most you can make in a monthly mortgage, taxes, and insurance payments.

Generally, to qualify, the self-employed buyer must have been self-employed in the same line of work for at least
24 months before applying for a loan. Lenders use your net income, the figure at the bottom of schedule C of your
federal income tax form, to decide how large a mortgage you can carry. But they don’t look at what you earn now
or what you made last year. Rather lenders figure the monthly average of your income over the past 24 months.
Also, overtime pay & bonuses sometimes may not be figured into your average income.

Don’t forget that points, closing costs & other out-of-the-pocket expenses probably will come out to about
one percent of the mortgage amount.
