PRE-APPROVAL ESTIMATOR

What could you be pre-approved for?

A quick estimate of your buying power based on your income, debts, down payment, and credit range — before you talk to a lender.

Before taxes — combine both incomes if you're buying with someone else.
Car loans, student loans, credit card minimums, other loans — not including future housing costs. Want a fuller breakdown? Try the DTI calculator.
A rough number is fine — this updates the estimate either way.
Rate auto-fills based on your credit range and today's average — adjust it if a lender has already quoted you something different.

This estimate uses about 0% of your gross monthly income.

This is a planning estimate, not a loan offer, rate lock, or commitment to lend. It assumes a 30-year fixed loan, an estimated combined property tax and insurance cost of about 1.4% of the home price per year, and mortgage insurance of about 0.6% per year on loans with less than 20% down — all rough, editable assumptions that vary significantly by location and lender. It also assumes a maximum housing payment of about 31% of gross income and a maximum total debt load of about 43%, common conventional guidelines that some loan programs allow to flex higher or lower. The rate shown defaults to an approximation of national averages as of July 2026 and should be treated as illustrative only. For an actual rate and approval amount, a lender needs to verify your full financial picture — see the pre-approval guide for what that involves.
