MORTGAGE PREQUALIFIER WORKSHEET
STEP 1: This step calculates the maximum amount available for housing related payments, using a Gross Debt Service Ratio (GDS) of 32%.
Your gross monthly (taxable) income
     +$_________
Your co-borrower's gross
monthly (taxable)income

     +$_________

Other monthly income

     +$_________

Total monthly income

(A)=$________



(B) equals income*
available for housing
payments BEFORE
debt payments
(B=32% of income)
     
(A) X 32%= (B)




(B)=$________


* IN MOST CASES this is the most that can be used to cover your mortgage payment, property taxes, heating costs and one-half of condominium maintenance fees (where applicable).
STEP 2: This step calculates the amount available for housing related payments AFTER other debt payments, using a Total Debt Service Ratio (TDS) of 40%.

Total monthly income
from Step 1

(A)=$________


(A) X 40%=(C)

(C) equals the amount
available for monthly
housing AND debt
payments



(C)=$________


LESS car payments

      -$_________
LESS loan payments       -$_________
LESS credit card payments       -$_________
LESS credit line payments       -$_________

(D) equals the amount available to cover housing payments, after debt payments have been deducted.






(D)=$________
STEP 3: This step calculates an estimate of the actual mortgage amount you will qualify for. It uses the LOWER of (B) from Step 1 or (D) from Step 2 to determine the maximum amount available for your housing related payments. From this amount the estimated property taxes, heating costs and maintenance fees (where applicable) are deducted leaving the amount available for your mortgage payment. This amount is then converted into a mortgage amount.

MAXIMUM available to cover housing payments: Lower of OF (B) OR (D)      +$________
LESS 1/12 of estimated net annual property      -$_________
LESS estimate of monthly heating costs      -$_________
Less: one-half of estimated monthly condominium maintenance fees      -$_________
AMOUNT AVAILABLE TO COVER MORTGAGE PAYMENTS =(E)$________


TO CALCULATE MAXIMUM MORTGAGE PREQUALIFICATION . . .


(E) $______ divided by (F)________ = $___________ divided by (G) _________ = (H) $___________
** (H) = NET MORTGAGE QUALIFICATION OF $________________ **


(F) = MORTGAGE PAYMENT FACTOR


Current Mortgage Payment Factor is: 0.00    - Enter as (F) in above formula.
