この計算ツールについて

Lenders use the "28/36 rule" to decide how much you can borrow: your housing costs shouldn't exceed 28% of gross income (front-end ratio), and total debts shouldn't exceed 36% (back-end ratio). This calculator applies both constraints to find the maximum home price you can realistically afford.

よくある質問

What is the 28/36 rule?

The 28/36 rule is a guideline lenders use: spend no more than 28% of gross monthly income on housing (principal, interest, tax, insurance) and no more than 36% on all debt combined. This calculator applies both limits and uses the stricter one.

How does my down payment affect affordability?

A larger down payment reduces the loan amount you need, which lowers your monthly payment. This means a higher home price fits within the same budget. Going from 10% to 20% down can increase your max home price by 10–15%.

Does this account for PMI?

This calculator does not add PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). If your down payment is under 20%, lenders typically require PMI which adds 0.3–1.5% of the loan annually to your payment — effectively lowering the home price you can afford.

Why is my result limited by the back-end ratio?

If you have significant existing debts (car loans, student loans, credit cards), those eat into the 36% total debt allowance. Paying down existing debt before buying a home directly increases how much house you can afford.
