CyberAutomations

See what home price your monthly payment supports.

Set a target monthly principal and interest payment, a rate and a down payment to see the purchase price it supports. If you are selling a home to buy the next one, enter the sale price and payoff to check the down payment is funded. Leave the sale price at $0 if you are a first-time buyer. Everything recomputes as you type.

Selling a current home (optional)

Leave at $0 if you are not selling a home. Use a realistic estimate or a recent comparable sale, not a list-price hope.

Agent commission plus seller closing costs, as a share of the sale price.

Remaining balance on the loan being paid off at sale.

Other funds

Checking and savings you are willing to put toward the purchase.

New mortgage

Principal and interest only. Property tax, insurance and PMI are added separately in the result.

Annual, as a percent of purchase price. Varies widely by state and county. Homeowners insurance is assumed flat at $120/mo.

Your payment, rate, term and down payment support a purchase price of about $0.

Sale price, selling costs, cash and other funds do not change the price. They only decide whether the down payment is actually funded: see the check below the table.

Summary

Method

The loan a payment supports is the standard amortization formula solved for principal: loan = P × ((1 + r)^n - 1) / (r × (1 + r)^n), where P is the monthly principal and interest payment, r is the annual rate divided by 12 and n is the term in months. Purchase price is that loan plus the down payment.

Not financial or lending advice. Real qualification depends on gross income, credit and the full debt-to-income underwriting a lender will compute directly. A sale price estimate is not an appraisal.
