Tampa Home Affordability Calculator
Estimate what you can afford — and the cash you'll need to close — in the Tampa market.
Estimated home price you can afford
Based on a 36% debt-to-income guideline
Estimated cash needed to close
Down payment + closing costs + prepaids
Estimates only, for general planning — not a loan offer, pre-approval, or quote. Uses 2026 Tampa/Florida averages (property tax ~0.89%, Florida mortgage taxes, and typical insurance and closing-cost ranges); your actual numbers depend on your lender, credit, and the specific property. Down payment assistance and seller concessions can lower your cash to close. Always confirm with a licensed lender.
