4. Annual Property Taxes:
5. Total Monthly Payments in Non-Mortgage Debt (car payments, credit cards, etc).
Monthly Principal + Interest
Total Housing Payment (tax & insurance
included)
IMPORTANT NOTE: This calculator assumes that you are utilizing the services of a Mortgage Broker and not a a National Bank. The difference is that most National Banks have the following guidelines:
Your gross (pre-taxes) monthly salary must be
greater than 28% of the sum of the monthly mortgage
and monthly tax payments.
Your gross (pre-taxes) monthly salary must be
greater than 36% of the sum of the monthly mortgage,
monthly tax and other monthly debt payments.
Mortgage Brokers use the services of Lenders that allow you to borrow up to (and beyond) 40% of your gross income (instead of just 36%).
Furthermore, the calculations above
are based upon conventional program guidelines. There are 'Non-Conventional' programs available (such as Stated Income Loans, No Doc/No Ratio Loans & No Income No Asset Loans) that may help you qualify for a greater loan amount. We highly recommend using a respected Mortgage Brokerage to ensure that all of these programs are available to help you qualify for your new home.
