How this Hampton 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.

Virginia 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 0.75% of the home's value a year, the Virginia 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.
