Affordability Analysis for $750,000

California has high home prices but low property tax rates (capped by Prop 13). This calculator uses a 0.75% tax rate typical for CA.

When planning for a home at this price point, it is critical to calculate not just the mortgage, but the "Unrecoverable Costs" of homeownership: property taxes, HOA fees, and maintenance (usually 1% of home value per year).

At a 6.5% interest rate, the Principal & Interest payment for a $750,000 loan is approximately $3792. However, with taxes and insurance (PITI), you should budget for about $6375 per month.

How much income do I need for a $750,000 house?

Using the 28% rule, lenders typically look for a gross annual income of approximately $273,214 to comfortably afford a $750,000 home.
