|---|---|---|---|
| 30 years | $3,666 | $739,761 | — |
| 20 years | $4,324 | $457,839 | $281,922 |

What one percentage point of rate is worth here
On a $580,000 loan, going from 6.5% to 7.5% adds $389 a month — and $140,202 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 $4,481 — principal, interest, tax, insurance — that implies roughly $192,024 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.
