You'll get more insight and responses if you make this a poll. Just a thought.

Re: Mortage/Income %

I would say the norm on LI is 30-40%, some probably higher b/c of the housing prices and taxes. It is probably less for people who live out of state or maybe even not on LI. I think ours is inbetween that range.

I think this is more like it for newer home buyers. We have a coop so our % is much less but once we have a home it would be about the same

Re: Mortage/Income %

Probably somewhere around 30% gross. Much less than that if I take into account all my side business income.

Re: Mortage/Income %

With our mortgage and taxes we'll be at about 40% of one income. I start working in September, this will help although most of it will go to child care.

Re: Mortage/Income %

including taxes, it will be close to 40% net.

however DH and i get yearly step and COLA raises so it will go down each year (assuming our taxes do not increase significantly).

With taxes and insurance, it comes out to about 17% of our monthly gross pay.

ETA:
It's about 28% of our net pay per month.
