How much house can I afford on a $120,000 salary?

Lenders often use debt-to-income ratios near 28% for housing and 36% for total debt, but rules vary. On $120,000 gross ($10,000 per month), a 28% housing share suggests about $2,800 per month for principal, interest, tax, insurance, and HOA combined—not the home price alone. A $450,000 home with 10% down at 7% might fit near that payment band depending on taxes, insurance, and other debts. Treat this as a planning range, not an approval amount.

How it works

Estimates an affordable home price from gross income, a housing-ratio guideline, monthly debts, down payment ($ or %), interest rate, term, and optional tax, insurance, HOA, and PMI costs. When down payment is under 20%, optional PMI (annual % of loan) reduces the P&I budget. Property tax can be entered as a fixed annual amount or as a percent of home value. Results are planning estimates, not lender approvals.

Limitations

Affordability rules vary by lender and program. Property tax, insurance, and HOA are estimates you provide.

Privacy and file handling

Formula or method

Affordable housing payment is limited by income × housing ratio minus existing monthly debts. Home price backs out down payment from the loan amount the remaining P&I budget can support after tax, insurance, HOA, and optional PMI.

Important notice

Results are estimates for educational purposes and are not financial advice. Lender guidelines, taxes, insurance, PMI, and local costs vary. Consult a qualified financial professional for personal guidance.
