Re: What percentage of your household income is your monthly mortage payment?

That's a good question. I have to figure it out but maybe around 60-65%

Re: What percentage of your household income is your monthly mortage payment?

if i did the math correctly, its about 30% of our net monthly income (i.e., after tax/benefits are taken out).

Re: What percentage of your household income is your monthly mortage payment?

DH gets paid on commission and we also pay extra principal each month but I'm estimating we're in the range of 25% of net income give or take some depending on what his checks are each month. I also get paid weekly so some weeks are 5 paycheck months which gives us extra for those months.

Ours is about the same. We usually pay more towards the principal so the numbers are a little higher.

About 45% of our net. So I guess just under 30% of our gross.

Re: What percentage of your household income is your monthly mortage payment?

when DH is employed (hopefully he will get the job this week) about 28% of gross for both properties.

It's about 38% net.

Those gross numbers don't mean anything for affordability. You have to take into account all of your financial responsibilities.

If it's just my salary then 48% gross, 70% net...scary.

Re: What percentage of your household income is your monthly mortage payment?

about 35% of our net, but that also includes home owner's insurance and taxes, so it's actually less than that.
