What salary do you need to qualify for a $400,000 mortgage?

The answer depends on a few key factors: down payment, interest rate, and your debt-to-income ratio. Here’s a general guideline:

  • 20% Down Payment ($80,000): You’d likely need a gross annual income of around $90,000–$100,000 to comfortably qualify.
  • 10% Down Payment ($40,000): You’d need roughly $100,000–$110,000 per year.
  • 5% Down Payment ($20,000): Usually $110,000+ in annual income is needed.

These numbers assume:
✅ 30-year fixed mortgage
✅ 6–7% interest rate (current average rates may vary)
✅ Debt-to-income ratio under 43%
