| Property tax 0.89% a year, estimate | $115.89 |
| Homeowners insurance | not included |
| Monthly subtotal before insurance/HOA | $677.19 |

No state chosen, so this is an estimate: the U.S. ratio of median real estate taxes paid to median home value (ACS 2024 1-year). Insurance is left out until you choose a state (NAIC 2023 state averages) or add your own quote.

## Income needed

To keep the $677.19 monthly housing cost at 28% of gross income, you'd need about **$29,022 a year**. Lenders also cap total debt payments near 36% of income, so car and student loan payments reduce what you can borrow.
