Assumptions
- Uses gross (pre-tax) income, the way lenders calculate debt-to-income ratios.
- Ratios are common guidelines; actual approval depends on credit score, loan program, reserves and the lender.
- Property tax scales with the home price; insurance and HOA are treated as fixed amounts.
- Fixed-rate loan; PMI applies when the down payment is under 20% of the price.
- Oklahoma property tax: Effective rate = ACS median real estate taxes paid ÷ ACS median value, owner-occupied housing units, by state. Source: US Census Bureau ACS 2024.
