Home Affordability on $110,000/Year
Using the 28/36 rule — your PITI payment should stay under 28% of gross income, total debt under 36%:
| Monthly | Annual | |
|---|---|---|
| Gross income | $9,167 | $110,000 |
| Max PITI (28%) | $2,567 | $30,800 |
| Max total debt (36%) | $3,300 | $39,600 |
How Much Home Can You Buy?
At a 6.5% interest rate with a 30-year loan:
| Down Payment | Max Home Price | Monthly PITI | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20% | $397,000 | ~$2,570 | No PMI |
| 10% | ~$337,000 | ~$2,567 | Includes PMI |
| 5% | ~$318,000 | ~$2,567 | Includes PMI |
A larger down payment lets you afford a more expensive home because there’s no PMI eating into your monthly budget.
Impact of Existing Debt
If you have other monthly debt payments, your buying power drops:
| Monthly Debt | Available for PITI | Max Home (20% down) |
|---|---|---|
| $0 | $2,567 | $397,000 |
| $300/mo | $3,000 | ~$361,000 |
| $500/mo | $2,800 | ~$337,000 |
| $800/mo | $2,500 | ~$301,000 |
Every $300/month in existing debt reduces your buying power by roughly $36,000.
How Interest Rate Affects Affordability
On a $110,000 salary with 20% down:
| Rate | Max Home Price | Monthly PITI |
|---|---|---|
| 5.5% | ~$445,000 | ~$2,567 |
| 6.0% | ~$421,000 | ~$2,567 |
| 6.5% | $397,000 | ~$2,570 |
| 7.0% | ~$373,000 | ~$2,567 |
| 7.5% | ~$353,000 | ~$2,567 |
A 1% rate drop adds roughly $48,000 to your buying power.
Tips to Maximize What You Can Afford
- Pay off debt first — every $300/month in debt you eliminate adds ~$36,000 in buying power
- Improve your credit score — better scores get lower rates, which means more home for the same payment
- Compare lenders — rates vary 0.25-0.5% between lenders, which can mean $24,000+ in buying power
- Consider bi-weekly payments — won’t help you qualify, but saves thousands in interest after you buy
- Check your state — property taxes and insurance vary dramatically. See your state’s costs
