Home Affordability by State
What can you afford in Wisconsin?
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 Wisconsin's own property tax and insurance data rather than a national average. Every assumption is editable in the full calculator below.
Wisconsin's effective property tax rate is around 1.32% of home value per year — the 10th highest in the country. Average homeowner's insurance runs near $1,524/year on a $300,000 home — the 14th lowest.

A lender would likely approve up to $343,401 on this baseline in Wisconsin — but this household's own budget, once real expenses are counted, can only sustain $307,264. That $36,137 gap is exactly the kind of overreach this calculator exists to flag before it becomes a monthly deficit.
