| PMI appears above if your down payment is less than 20% of your home 
                                    value. That means you must pay an extra .32% to .90% a year until you break the 20% 
                                    criteria. They also add that into the income requirement. The Front End Ratio (35%) income is 
                                    based on PITI (Principal + Interest + Tax + Insurance) or more specifically, the mortgage 
                                    principal plus interest amount plus your monthly property tax and home insurance the 
                                    lender typically holds in an escrow account for you. This monthly amount is listed above 
                                    as Total monthly lender payment. The Back End Ratio (45%) income is 
                                    based on the PITI (Principal + Interest + Monthly Property Tax + Monthly Home Insurance 
                                    + Monthly Debt). This total amount is the sum described above as Total monthly debt payment. As long as your total income (salary + interest income + rental income + dividend 
                                    income) meets ONE of the two incomes you will probably qualify, and 
                                    if it meets both you are in even better shape. The accuracy and use of this calculator is not guaranteed. |
