VOE Loan Calculator for California

Because a VOE-only loan qualifies you on the income your employer verifies, sizing it is really a DTI question. Enter your gross monthly income and debts below to estimate your maximum payment and loan amount for 2026.

How it works

Your employer-verified gross monthly income sets your budget. We fit a housing payment to a target DTI (after your debts), then convert it to a max loan at your rate. Non-QM VOE often allows DTI into the mid-40s–50%. See Requirements.

Estimate your VOE loan

Enter the income your employer can verify on Form 1005.

Max total housing payment (PITI)
Less taxes + insurance
Available for principal + interest
Estimated max loan amount
+ your down payment
≈ Estimated max purchase price

Educational estimate only — not a pre-approval, quote, or commitment to lend. Your qualifying income is the amount your employer certifies on Form 1005. Actual approval depends on credit, reserves, the property, and lender underwriting. Figures illustrative for 2026.

What the numbers mean

The calculator applies your chosen DTI to your employer-verified income, subtracts existing debts to leave room for housing, removes taxes and insurance, then converts the remaining principal-and-interest budget into a loan amount at your rate and term. Adding your down payment gives an estimated purchase price. The key input is the income your employer will actually certify — everything flows from that.

Expert tip: The most powerful lever on this calculator isn't the rate — it's the income your employer can verify. If a meaningful share of your pay is overtime, bonus, or commission, whether the lender counts it comes down to how it's stated on Form 1005 and its documented history. Before you get attached to a purchase price, let us pre-check with your employer exactly what income can be certified and how dependable overtime or commission will be treated. That one conversation often changes the max loan more than any rate shopping — and it's the number underwriting actually uses. Get your real number →
