If mortgage lending institutions apply the “30% rule” (monthly mortgage payment of combined principal and interest cannot exceed 30% of borrower’s monthly take-home pay) to a borrower with monthly take-home pay of $4280, what is the maximum monthly payment this borrower can handle?

the monthly take home pay is 4280.

30% of 4280 = .3 * 4280 = 1284.

the maximum monthly payment on the mortgage should not exceed 1284.
