 Payment Reduction Estimator

Under the Home Affordable Modification Program, the target maximum amount for your mortgage payment (or mortgage debt-to-income) should be approximately 31% of your gross (pre-tax) monthly income. This Payment Reduction Estimator will help determine what your current mortgage debt-to-income is and how much your monthly payment could be reduced if you qualify for a modification. Based on your individual financial situation, under HAMP, your final modified payment may be above or below the 31% debt-to-income ratio.
 
Do not include any payments on your second mortgage. You may have taxes and interest in escrow added to your monthly payment already, so be careful to count taxes and escrow only once.

*This tool should be used for estimation purposes only and will not determine a homeowner's final eligibility for a HAMP modification.

Be sure to add the monthly net pay of all borrowers. This is a monthly amount so if any borrowers are paid twice a month, simply add those two amounts together to get that borrower's monthly net pay.
