How much house can I afford?

Not a salary multiple — a simulation. For each income below, the model sweeps purchase prices and reports the highest one where at least 85% of thousands of simulated futures — including the ones with crashes and layoffs — still reach financial independence on time. Every number is for an illustrative household (spending 35% of gross, savings sized to fund closing); every page lets you swap in your own.
