Texas Bank Statement Loans

Self-Employed Affordability Calculator

See if you qualify — free, 60-second check.

How much home can you afford when you're self-employed? Start with your qualifying income — your counted bank-statement deposits, not your tax-return income — then see the home price it supports at today's rates.

Use your qualifying income, not your tax income

The biggest mistake self-employed buyers make is using their tax-return income, which write-offs shrink. For a bank statement loan, your qualifying income is based on deposits. Run the bank statement calculator first, then enter that number here.

How affordability works

We target a total housing payment near 43% of your qualifying income after other debts, then back into a home price using your rate and down payment. Lowering monthly debts or adding down payment raises your maximum.

Plan around non-QM details

Non-QM loans for the self-employed often allow debt-to-income up to about 50% with strong profiles, and they skip monthly PMI. They typically want 10%+ down and a few months of reserves, which a specialist can factor into your real number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What income should I enter?

Use your qualifying income — for self-employed borrowers that's your counted bank deposits, not your lower tax-return income.

What down payment do I need?

Bank statement programs often start at 10% down, with stronger pricing at 15–20%.

How high can my DTI be?

Conventional loans usually cap near 43%, but non-QM bank statement loans can allow up to about 50% with strong credit and reserves.

Do I need cash reserves?

Often yes — many non-QM programs want 3–12 months of payments in reserves, with larger loans requiring more.

Will a bigger down payment help me afford more?

Yes. More down lowers your loan and payment, and can unlock better pricing, raising your maximum price.

Is this the same as a conventional affordability calculator?

The math is similar, but the key difference is the income you use — deposits-based qualifying income rather than tax-return income.
