Notes

Gross Monthly Income: is the total income of all borrowers who signed your mortgage before any taxes or other deductions are made. If more than one person signed your mortgage, such as your spouse or a co-signer, add the gross monthly income of all borrowers and enter this amount.

Mortgage Payment: is defined as what you pay on a monthly-basis for principal, interest, property taxes, hazard insurance and homeowner’s association fees, if applicable. Please include information about your first (or “primary”) mortgage only. 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.

Mortgage Payment Guideline: this is calculated as 31% of your current monthly gross income. If your current monthly mortgage payment is above this amount, you may be eligible for the Home Affordable Modification.
