This calculator will help you determine the cost of a house that you can reasonably afford.

It is wise to consider all your financial obligations when determining how much you can afford.
Begin by clicking in the first entry field and follow the instructions that appear in the Help box. Please note that this calculator requires that you place a minimum down payment of 5% of the mortgage.
Making bi-weekly payments means that you will pay half of your mortgage payment every two weeks instead of making a full mortgage payment once a month.

This calculator will help you decide if making bi-weekly mortgage payments is right for you.
