How much mortgage you can afford may be different from how much mortgage is right for you. It’s important to look at your total financial picture:
Estimate your monthly loan payment with the UMB mortgage loan calculator
There are several variables that impact a monthly payment: loan amount, mortgage interest rate and term of the mortgage (how many years it will take to pay off the mortgage).
Mortgage payments also typically include monthly allocations of property taxes, hazard insurance, and (if applicable) private mortgage insurance (PMI).
Take a realistic look at your income, lifestyle and priorities
To estimate how much total home loan you can afford, a general guideline is to double your gross annual income. But that’s a broad generalization. You might have other financial priorities, like travelling or paying off debt.
Maybe your priority is owning a larger home or living in a specific location. In this case, taking out a bigger home loan, still within your budget, may be valuable to you.

Mortgage insurance protects a lender in case a homeowner defaults on their home loan. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) covers the lender. But you have pay for it when you put down less than 20% for a conventional mortgage.
If you make at least a 20% cash down payment, you don’t have to pay PMI.
PMI is usually a very small percentage of your original loan amount. It’s added to your total monthly mortgage payment, along with your homeowner’s insurance, property taxes, and loan principal and interest.
While it adds to your monthly bill, mortgage insurance allows you to make a lower down payment. Some buyers consider this trade-off worth it to be able to own a home.
UMB offers a diverse set of mortgage loan products to fit your needs. Discover how UMB can support your homeownership goals.
Refinancing your home mortgage could get you a lower interest rate. Or it might allow you to switch from an adjustable -rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage or to change the term of your loan.
If you’ve owned your home for a while, “cash-out” refinance of your mortgage may help you pay for home improvements or pay down debt with higher interest rates.
Refinancing replaces your original loan with a new loan
You pay the new refinanced loan according to the rate and terms of the new agreement. This may make sense for you, depending on how many months the ongoing payment savings will take to cover your upfront closing costs.
