Payment Comfort Calculator

What home price fits the monthly payment you’re comfortable with? Start with your total monthly housing payment, then adjust the assumptions to explore a price range.

Estimated home price range

The range extends 10% below and 10% above the estimated price because costs vary by borrower and property. The upper end may come with a higher payment than your target. This estimate assumes a fixed-rate loan and is for planning purposes.

Let’s find your price range.

Share your payment goal with Josias for a personalized estimate based on your financing options and the property you’re considering.

Common questions

What is PMI?

Private mortgage insurance (PMI) protects the lender and is typically required on conventional loans with less than 20% down. For those scenarios, this calculator starts with an illustrative annual rate of 0.55% of the loan amount. Your actual cost may vary, and other loan programs use different rules.

How do I estimate property taxes?

Use the Property Tax Estimator to find a county benchmark. Enter that percentage in the annual property tax field, or use a property-specific estimate if you have one. A county benchmark can differ from a home’s actual tax bill.

What should I include in my monthly payment target?

Start with what you’re comfortable spending on principal and interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, any association dues, and mortgage insurance if applicable. Set aside room in your broader budget for maintenance and utilities.
