Mortgage Application Process
Financial Ratios

How do lenders assess how much I can afford per month?
Generally, lenders calculate that the homebuyer shouldn't pay more than 30 to
32% of gross income for principal, interest, taxes, and insurance (PITI), or 40 to
42% for both PITI and monthly debts combined.

The easiest way to make a quick estimate of the mortgage amount you may
qualify for requires applying the two basic formulas used by lenders for loan
application. Keep in mind that the loan balance will vary over the term of the loan,
although the monthly payment remains the same.

Two lender formulas:

30 to 32% formula
Total monthly housing costs (PITI) = 30 to 32% (or less) gross monthly income
40 to 42% formula
PITI + all monthly debts = 40 to 42% (or less) gross monthly income
How Much Can I Afford?


What amount should I establish for my monthly mortgage payments?
House hunting begins at home... with planning. Knowing your affordable price
range will bring your house hunting into focus.

How much house you can afford depends on two things: how much you can afford
for the monthly mortgage payment, and how much you can invest in the down
payment. Monthly payments include the principal and interest on the mortgage
loan and property taxes and insurance against fire and other hazards. These four
costs are often abbreviated PITI.

The key items are the size of the down payment, the amount of the mortgage and
the term – or length – of the loan.
HLC Home Loans Canada offers a
Mortgage Affordability Calculator to determine
how much you can afford and a
Mortgage Comparison Calculator  to compare
different payment options.
Getting Pre-approved

Why should I apply for a mortgage pre-approval?
Having a pre-approved mortgage will give you the confidence of knowing exactly
what you can spend on a home before you start looking. You will also be
protected against interest rate increases while you look for your new home.
