This calculator uses the 28% front-end DTI rule, which is the standard guideline most lenders follow. It says your total monthly housing costs (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance — known as PITI) should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income.
Here is what gets calculated:
- Your maximum monthly housing payment is 28% of your gross monthly income
- From that budget, we subtract estimated property taxes (Manatee County averages ~1.75%) and homeowners insurance (~0.35% annually)
- The remaining amount determines how large a mortgage you can support at the given interest rate over 30 years
- Adding your down payment gives the maximum home price you can afford
Important: This is an educational estimate, not a pre-approval. Your actual buying power depends on credit score, loan program, reserves, and lender-specific requirements. Always get pre-approved before shopping for homes.
Parrish is located in Manatee County, where property tax rates average about 1.75% with a homestead exemption. Communities like North River Ranch, Silverleaf, and Crosswind Point are popular with buyers in the $300K-$500K range. Adjust the sliders above to match your specific situation.
