As well, your total mortgage payment should not exceed 28% of your income. This means if you have no other debt, you can spend up to 28% of 'your income on a mortgage payment. If your non-housing debt is more than 8% of your income, the percentage of your monthly income you can spend on housing debt is 36% minus your non-housing debt. |
