HOW THE LIMIT IS SET

Two budget checks compete. The tighter one wins.

Housing cap · 28%$2,800 / mo
After-debt cap · 36%$2,700 / mo

Planning estimate only, not a prequalification or approval. PMI is a manual monthly assumption, not a lender quote. Closing costs may exclude prepaid items and escrow funding. Lenders can use different DTI limits and underwriting rules.

METHOD

A planning limit, not a magic approval number.

CalcStreet compares a housing-only budget with a total-debt budget, uses the tighter monthly limit, then solves backward for a home price using your mortgage rate, down payment, taxes, insurance, PMI and HOA assumptions.

Housing budget = min(housing DTI cap, total DTI cap − other debts)Change either ratio to model a more conservative or more flexible scenario.
