Home Affordability Calculator

Start from the monthly payment you actually want to live with, and see the Florida home price it supports.

A planning estimate — not a pre-approval, an approval amount, or an ability-to-repay determination.

What fits your budget

All in — principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA and any mortgage insurance.
Loan program
This program starts at 3% down.
Your assumption, not a quote — and not an APR.

Cost assumptions

Florida planning defaults. The closing-cost percentage and the buffer only affect the cash-to-close estimate, not the payment.

Optional. Reserves and prepaid items you want to plan for.

How to read this result

This is a budget, not a ceiling
The price above is what your chosen payment buys under these assumptions. It is not what a lender would approve — that depends on verified income, debts, credit, assets, the program, the property and underwriting.
Cash to close is a separate question
The down payment is only part of it. Closing costs, prepaid taxes and insurance, and any program fee you choose not to finance all land on the same day. Plan for both numbers, not just the payment.
Florida moves the escrow figures
Property tax reassessment after a sale and homeowners insurance re-rating both change the non-mortgage part of your payment. Test a payment 10% lower than your target and see what it costs you in price.

Assumptions, method and disclosures

What this calculator assumed
  • A fixed interest rate for the whole term, at the rate you entered.
  • The down payment stated as a percentage, so it scales with the solved price.
  • Property tax as a percentage of the purchase price; homeowners insurance as a flat annual figure.
  • Florida property. Mortgage Expert, Inc. originates loans on Florida property only.
  • No income, monthly debts, credit pull or debt-to-income ratio is used, requested or implied.
How the numbers are calculated

This tool starts from a payment you choose. It is not a pre-approval, an approval amount, or an ability-to-repay determination.

It does not tell you what you can be approved for.

Actual eligibility depends on verified income, debts, credit, assets, the loan program, the property, and underwriting.

The estimated total payment includes principal, interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA or CDD dues, and mortgage insurance where the program charges it. It excludes flood insurance, special assessments, utilities, and maintenance. Your actual escrow amounts are set by your county and your insurer.

Private mortgage insurance is an estimate. Actual PMI is priced by the insurer from credit, loan-to-value, loan amount, term, occupancy, coverage, and whether the premium is borrower- or lender-paid.

The price is solved by searching for the purchase price whose complete monthly payment equals your target, evaluating the same payment model the Mortgage Payment Calculator renders at each candidate price. That is what lets it stay correct across FHA’s financed upfront premium, HUD’s mortgage-insurance factor bands and the VA funding-fee tiers, all of which step rather than scale.

Where the program figures come from

This is a planning estimate, not a loan offer, rate quote, approval, pre-approval, or commitment to lend.
