Notes
  • We convert your max allowable monthly P&I into a principal using the qualifying rate and amortization.
  • Preview payment uses your contract rate (for budgeting) — the qualifying rate may be higher.
  • If your down payment is < 20%, many insured programs cap amortization at 25 years.

Mortgage Affordability — Summary
Prepared September 30, 2025
Assumptions & Notes
  • This is an educational estimate. Lender programs vary (rate stress, exceptions, amortization caps, condo fee treatment, etc.).
  • GDS includes: mortgage principal & interest (at the qualifying rate), property taxes, heating, 50% of condo fees, and home insurance.
  • TDS adds other monthly obligations (credit lines, loans, cards, support payments, etc.).
  • Insurance premiums (if down < 20%) are added to the mortgage (not paid from down payment) and depend on exact program rules.
  • Always confirm with your lender and review your mortgage commitment for final qualifying details.
