Home buyers should not begin their home search until they have determined how much they can afford to pay for a new home.

Interactive mortgage calculators enable home buyers to determine a best rate home mortgage based on the amount to be mortgaged, the term of the mortgage, and the interest rate. They are self-help tools that allow for various reports and comparison of monthly and yearly amortization schedules (for example, a 15-year mortgage versus a 30-year mortgage with varying amounts of down payments or a fixed-rate mortgage versus an adjustable rate mortgage.)

How much can I borrow?' calculators provide the likely maximum amount of mortgage loaned under normal lending industry criteria. Factors include interest rates, points, term, down payment requirements, and maximum allowable ratio of house expense to income. Your affordability will also be affected by current debt. Mortgage calculators are also useful for measuring the effect of principal prepayments.
