The first concept for figuring how much home you can afford is usually simple. The 40% of your monthly income must be allotted for the monthly amortization.
Example:
Preferred house and lot with monthly amortization at ₱7,500.00
Solution:
Monthly Amortization ₱7.500.00
Divide by Affordability Ratio of ÷40%
Gross Monthly Income to qualify ₱18.750.00
This formula is used to test your quick affordability ratio.
