TrueAffordHome Affordability by State
What can you afford in Pennsylvania?
A baseline estimate for a household earning $90,000 a year gross, with typical debts and expenses, a $30,000 down payment, and a 740-759 credit score — using Pennsylvania's own property tax and insurance data rather than a national average. Every assumption is editable in the full calculator below.
Pennsylvania's effective property tax rate is around 1.26% of home value per year — the 12th highest in the country. Average homeowner's insurance runs near $1,296/year on a $300,000 home — the 7th lowest.

A lender would likely approve up to $348,059 on this baseline in Pennsylvania — but this household's own budget, once real expenses are counted, can only sustain $311,054. That $37,005 gap is exactly the kind of overreach this calculator exists to flag before it becomes a monthly deficit.
