How this Moreno Valley mortgage affordability calculator works

Lenders look at your debt-to-income ratio. Housing costs (principal and interest, property tax, homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance) should stay under about 31% of your gross monthly income, and housing plus your other monthly debts under 43%. The calculator finds the highest home price that passes both tests with your down payment, on a 30-year fixed loan.

California rules and numbers this calculator uses

Debt-to-income
31% for housing and 43% total, the FHA standard and the long-time Qualified Mortgage limit. Some conventional loans go higher with strong credit and savings.
Down payment
At least 3% on a conventional first-time buyer loan (3.5% on FHA). Under 20% down, private mortgage insurance of about 0.6% of the loan a year is added to the payment.
Property tax
About 0.69% of the home's value a year, the California average for owner-occupied homes (2024 Census ACS).
Insurance
Homeowners insurance assumed at $150 a month; it varies a lot by home and location.
Rate
Starts at 7.40% (Freddie Mac 30-year average, October 2026). Change it to the rate you have been quoted.

An estimate, not a mortgage approval or pre-approval. Your credit, income type, the property and the lender all change the answer; a mortgage broker confirms your real number.

Frequently asked questions

10 questions
How does the mortgage affordability calculator work?
The calculator estimates the highest home price you can qualify for based on income, debts, down payment, interest rate, and first-time buyer status.
How accurate is the mortgage affordability estimate?
The estimate is a guideline. A pre-approval from a lender confirms the real number by verifying income, debts, credit, and down payment.
What is the debt-to-income ratio for mortgages?
Lenders typically cap housing costs at 31% of gross monthly income and total debt payments at 43%. Some loans allow more with strong credit.
What's the minimum down payment for a mortgage in California?
Minimum down payments are 3% for conventional first-time buyer loans and 3.5% for FHA loans. VA and USDA loans may allow 0% down.
How does PMI affect my mortgage in Moreno Valley?
If you put less than 20% down, PMI is added to conventional loans, about 0.6% of the loan annually. It can be removed once the balance is under 80%.
How do interest rates change what I can afford?
Higher interest rates increase monthly payments, reducing the maximum home price you can afford. The calculator starts at a 7.40% rate.
How do my debts affect my mortgage qualification?
Higher monthly debts reduce the amount you can borrow. Lenders consider total debt payments, including the new mortgage, when qualifying you.
What is the property tax rate in California?
The property tax rate is about 0.69% of the home's value annually, based on the 2024 average for owner-occupied homes.
What's the difference between pre-approval and pre-qualification?
Pre-approval involves lender verification of income, debts, and credit, providing a more accurate borrowing limit. Pre-qualification is a preliminary estimate.
What does a mortgage broker do?
A mortgage broker helps find loan options by connecting borrowers with lenders, potentially offering more choices than direct lender applications.
