Calculator tips

This calculator computes how much you might qualify for, but does not actually qualify you for a loan. Indeed, you may qualify for more or less than the amounts presented here based on your individual situation.

In particular, the example PMI is only an estimate, and may vary based on many factors including but not limited to your loan type, credit worthiness, and where you live.
