The full monthly cost
Lenders usually collect property tax and homeowners insurance with the payment through escrow. Assuming a home price of $750,000 (20% down), a 1.1% property tax rate and $1,500 a year for insurance adds about $813 a month, for a total of roughly $4,605. With less than 20% down, private mortgage insurance typically adds 0.3–1.5% of the loan a year. HOA dues are extra.
Income needed for a $600K mortgage
Lenders traditionally want housing costs under 28% of gross monthly income and all debts under 36%. At 6.5%, that points to an income of about $197,000 a year with no other debts. Car or student loan payments raise the income needed; the house affordability calculator includes them.
