What $425,000 costs over the life of the loan
At 6.5% over 30 years on a $340,000 loan, the interest alone comes to $433,652 — on top of the amount borrowed. Shortening the term is the single biggest lever on that number:

|---|---|---|---|
| 30 years | $2,149 | $433,652 | — |
| 20 years | $2,535 | $268,388 | $165,265 |
| 15 years | $2,962 | $193,117 | $240,535 |

What one percentage point of rate is worth here
On a $340,000 loan, going from 6.5% to 7.5% adds $228 a month — and $82,188 across the full term. At this size, a rate quote worth shopping for is worth more than most of the fees people negotiate instead.
The income a lender would look for
Lenders commonly cap housing costs at 28% of gross monthly income. On the full payment of $2,689 — principal, interest, tax, insurance — that implies roughly $115,226 a year before tax. It is a rule of thumb, not an underwriting decision: your other debts, credit score and deposit all move it. See what that salary looks like after tax.
