Affordability & stress test
How much home can you qualify for?
Lenders test your payment at the higher of your rate + 2% or 5.25%, and cap housing costs at 39% (GDS) and total debts at 44% (TDS) of gross income.

Reading your estimate
A starting range, not an approval.
Real payments depend on the rate you are offered, the lender’s rules, your credit and the property. Use these numbers to frame the conversation.
- Try a few rates to see how sensitive the payment is
- Compare 25 and 30 years on total interest, not just payment
- Bring your numbers to a review for a lender-by-lender answer
