See roughly how much house you can afford with a $100k annual income, based on standard lender assumptions and today's interest rates.
Quick answer: $304,836 – $352,782
With a $100k/year income, a realistic home price is usually around $304,836 to $352,782 depending on your debt, down payment, mortgage rate, and local housing costs.
Estimates use a 30-year fixed loan, 7.0% interest rate, 1.2% annual property tax, 0.35% annual homeowners insurance, and PMI when down payment is below 20%. Actual payments vary by location, lender, credit profile, taxes, insurance, and loan terms.

Keep track of multiple affordability setups.
| Down Payment % | Cash Needed | Max Home Price (28% DTI) |
|---|---|---|
| 5% | $14,569 | $291,380 |

Using the 28% rule, a $100,000 salary gives you $2,333/month for housing costs. With 20% down at 7% on a 30-year loan, that supports a home price of approximately $310,000-$360,000. With existing debt reducing your budget, expect $250,000-$290,000. Use the calculator above to model your exact situation.
Yes, very reasonably. A $350,000 home with 20% down at 7% produces a monthly payment of ~$2,310/mo - roughly 27.7% of your $8,333 gross monthly income. That fits seamlessly within the 28% guideline. You will need $70,000 for the down payment.
At $100,000/year your gross monthly income is $8,333. Lenders want your total monthly debt (mortgage + all other payments) under 43% DTI - that is $3,583/mo max. For front-end DTI (mortgage only), the 28% guideline means $2,333/mo.
Down payment depends on home price, not income directly. For a $350,000 home: 3.5% FHA = $12,250, 10% conventional = $35,000, 20% to avoid PMI = $70,000. Saving a stronger 20% lowers your monthly obligations reliably.
