If you are in the market looking to buy a new home, the term mortgage must have crossed your mind a million times and you must be wondering, “How much house can I afford?” This is undoubtedly the most important question that needs to be answered before you jump into taking a mortgage.
Most people wish to know how much mortgage they can afford based on their salary. Unfortunately, it is not that easy. Income cannot be the only deciding factor in establishing your mortgage affordability.
For example, you earn $100,000 in a year, but also own a Mercedes on loan and its repayment sets you back by $2000 every month. In such a case, it won’t matter if you are in the 6 figure club as another person who is making $75,000 a year, but owns a Volvo outright, will be able to afford approximately same amount for mortgage payments.
Many factors will come into play while establishing your mortgage affordability accurately. Most important of those factors will be your monthly expenses and proposed mortgage payments. In simpler terms, we need to check a lot more than your income.
The best way to establish your mortgage affordability is to look at your monthly take-home income and then compare it with all your monthly expenses. All Western Mortgage’s
mortgage affordability calculator efficiently takes all these factors into account to accurately predict how much income you will require to afford a particular mortgage loan. You can check it out here -
