Any other escrow charges (not property taxes, homeowner's insurance, private mortgage insurance (PMI), or association dues since those are entered individually) that will be paid with your monthly mortgage.

The percentage of your monthly income that goes to pay all your debt (including housing).
A mortgage lender will likely finance about this amount for you. This amount is calculated on either your 'Housing Debt Ratio' reaching the maximum 28% or your 'Total Debt Ratio' reaching the maximum 36%.
You should be looking to buy a home or property valued at this or less. This amount is simply the 'Likely Loan Amount' + 'Down Payment' amounts.
Gross Monthly Salary/Income + Other Monthly Income
$5,000.00 = $5,000.00 + $0.00
Car Payments + Credit Card Payments + Other Loan Payments + Other Monthly Payments
$700.00 = $350.00 + $200.00 + $150.00 + $0.00
Total Monthly Income * 36% - Total Monthly Expenses - (Property Taxes + Homeowner's Insurance + Private Mortgage Insurance + Association Dues + Other Escrow)
$970.20 = $5,000.00 * 36% - $700.00 - ($84.80 + $25.00 + $0.00 + $0.00 + $20.00)
(Loan Amount + Down Payment) * Property Tax Rate / 12
$84.80 = ($162,109.13 + $7,500.00) * 0.006000 / 12
Homeowner's Insurance / 12
$25.00 = $300.00 / 12
Private Mortgage Insurance / 12
$0.00 = $0.00 / 12
Association Dues / 12
$0.00 = $0.00 / 12
Other Escrow
$20.00 = $20.00
Principal & Interest + Property Taxes + Homeowner's Insurance + Private Mortgage Insurance + Association Dues + Other Escrow
$1,100.00 = $970.20 + $84.80 + $25.00 + $0.00 + $0.00 + $20.00
Monthly Rent/Mortgage / Total Monthly Income
22.00% = $1,100.00 / ($5,000.00 + $0.00)
(Monthly Mortgage + Total Monthly Expenses) / Total Monthly Income
36.00% = ($1,100.00 + $350.00 + $200.00 + $150.00 + $0.00) / ($5,000.00 + $0.00)
Either 'Housing Debt Ratio' or 'Total Debt Ratio' will be at its maximum all the time. 'Total Monthly Housing Expenses' increases when 'Total Monthly Income' is increased or 'Total Monthly Expenses' is decreased.
Principal & Interest * (((1 + -Rate / 12) ^ Months) - 1) / (-Rate / 12)
$162,109.13 = $970.20 * (((1 + -0.0600 / 12) ^ 360) - 1) / (-0.0600 / 12)
Loan Amount + Down Payment
$169,609.13 = $162,109.13 + $7,500.00
