Affordability calculator

Estimates the maximum home price you can likely qualify for using the 28/36 debt-to-income rule — the framework most Canadian lenders start from.

Based on the standard 28/36 debt-to-income rule (max 28% of income on housing, max 36% on total debt) with a 25-year amortization and ~1.1%/yr estimated for property tax & insurance. Figures are clamped to plausible ranges — this estimate isn't a substitute for full underwriting.
