Income, debt and expenses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, lenders look at two main comparisons as ratios to see if a potential buyer can afford the mortgage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>The first compares your income to your mortgage expenses (Gross Debt Service (GDS)). As a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/mortgages\/how-much-can-you-afford.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57472-47030975\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"rule of thumb\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">rule of thumb<\/a>, \u201cNo more than 30% to 32% of your gross annual income should go to \u2018mortgage expenses.\u2019\u201d This includes principal, interest, heating costs and property taxes (plus fees for condominium maintenance).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>The second compares your gross annual income to your existing debt \u2014 house, credit cards, personal loans and car loans (Total Debt Service (TDS)). Depending on the lender, your total debt payments shouldn\u2019t exceed 37% to 40% of your gross annual income.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-getting-your-numbers-in-shape\">2. Getting your numbers in shape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re falling outside the ratio benchmarks, don&#8217;t lose hope. Now is the time to review your budget, debt, and other expenses so that you can comfortably afford your new home. Here are some options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Consider reducing any of your lifestyle expenses to improve your cash flow. Is there a way you can bring down any outstanding debt?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Consider whether you have any short-term expenses that will be going away, such as a car payment, student loan, or childcare costs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Consider looking at lower-priced homes that still meet your needs. A lower-priced home may give you a bit more breathing room in day-to-day life<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>While these ratios and pre-qualification amounts can help direct you in terms of what you could afford, it&#8217;s important to have an understanding of your total home ownership costs in order to keep you from over-extending yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-understanding-carrying-cost\">3. Understanding carrying cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you plan for home ownership, it&#8217;s important to understand any other ongoing costs (the &#8220;carrying cost&#8221;) you will need to cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The checklist below can help you calculate what those ongoing costs might look like. While you may not know all these costs are now, just knowing some of the most common expenses can help you determine how much \u201chouse&#8221; you can afford to purchase and ultimately carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-border-color has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-1-border-color has-white-color has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-1-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-width:1px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/mortgages\/first-time-home-buyers.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57472-debdeb95\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Home Ownership Carrying Cost Checklist\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\"><strong>Home Ownership Carrying Cost Checklist<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While you are in the early stage of your home buying journey, it is a great time to research and work through each of the fields in the carrying cost table.
