How much do I need to make to afford a $200,000 house?

To afford a $200K mortgage with a 20% down payment, 30-year term and 7.00% interest rate, you’d need to make at least $38,268 a year before taxes. How much you ultimately can afford depends on your down payment, loan terms, taxes and insurance. As a general rule, your mortgage payment shouldn’t exceed one-third of your monthly income.

Amortization schedule

When you take out a mortgage, you agree to pay the principal and interest over the life of the loan. Your interest rate is applied to your balance, and as you pay down your balance, the amount you pay in interest changes.
Amortization means that at the beginning of your loan, a big percentage of your payment is applied to interest. With each subsequent payment, you pay more toward your balance.
Estimate your monthly loan repayments on a $200,000 mortgage at 7.00% fixed interest with our amortization schedule over 15 and 30 years.
