Quick rule of thumb: At 6.875% with 20% down, budget roughly $6.59/month per $1,000 of loan amount for P&I alone. A $500,000 loan = ~$3,295/month P&I. Add 15–20% more for taxes and insurance.

NYC Paycheck CalculatorFrequently Asked Questions
What is the average monthly mortgage payment in NYC?
Given NYC's price range, average PITI mortgage payments run $5,000–$8,000/month for the most common purchase price range of $750K–$1.2M. In the outer boroughs where prices average $450K–$650K, payments run $3,000–$4,500/month with 20% down.
How much do you need to earn to afford a $600K mortgage in NYC?
A $600,000 mortgage at 6.875% has a P&I payment of $3,954/month. With taxes and insurance (~$700/month), total PITI is approximately $4,654/month. Under the 28% DTI rule, you need gross income of $16,621/month, or about $200,000/year.
What price range is affordable on a $150K salary in NYC?
On $150,000/year, your max monthly PITI is $3,500. This qualifies you for roughly a $450,000–$500,000 purchase with 20% down. In NYC that means a co-op in the Bronx, Queens, or outer Brooklyn — or a small condo in those boroughs.
Do NYC mortgage payments include HOA fees?
No — PITI does not include condo common charges or co-op maintenance. These are additional costs that lenders do factor into your DTI when qualifying you. A $1,200/month common charge can reduce your mortgage qualification by roughly $130,000–$150,000 at current rates.
