Current scenario$497,393
Changed assumption$458,270

One assumption changes; everything else stays the same. This is a stress scenario, not a forecast.

READ THE RESULT

What the numbers are telling you.

  1. The debt-to-income percentage is your selected modeling budget, not a lender approval threshold.
  2. Gross income is not take-home pay. Taxes, savings and living costs still need room.
  3. Available down payment is separate from closing charges and emergency reserves.
A GOOD QUESTION

Does the maximum budget mean I can get that loan?

No. This model inverts the income/debt assumptions you supply. A lender’s income assessment, credit review, product rules and property review remain separate.

The calculation

Income × chosen DTI budget less other debt, taxes, insurance and dues; divide remaining monthly capacity by per-dollar loan payment.

Before acting on the result

A user-selected budget is not a lender threshold or approval. Closing cash, reserves and everyday living costs are additional.

Use actual property documents, matching lender estimates and qualified advice where needed. No calculator, API or MCP tool here issues an approval or guarantees a rate.
