Common questions

Is affordability the same as loan approval?

No. A calculator estimates what may fit the inputs and budget. A lender applies its own underwriting rules, documentation and current loan program requirements.

Why include taxes and insurance?

They are part of the recurring housing cost even though they are not principal and interest. Leaving them out can make a payment look more affordable than the household will actually experience.

Should I use the maximum amount the calculator shows?

Not automatically. A household may choose a lower amount to leave room for savings, maintenance, childcare, transportation or other priorities.
