Required Annual Income:

This does not include upfront mortgage insurance if needed. Your salary must meet the following two conditions on FHA loans:

• The sum of the monthly mortgage and monthly tax payments must be less than 31% of your gross (pre-taxes) monthly salary.
• The sum of the monthly mortgage, monthly tax and other monthly debt payments must be less than 43% of your gross (pre-taxes) monthly salary.

DISCLAIMER: The figures above are based upon current FHA program guidelines. FHA requires a 3.5% down payment as well as an upfront and monthly mortgage insurance in many cases. Other loan programs are available. Calculations by this tool are believed to be accurate, yet are not guaranteed. See upfront and monthly calculations: FHA Mortgage Insurance Requirements .
