Answer: A $500k mortgage with a 4.5% interest rate for 30 years and a $10k down-payment will require an annual income of $121,582 to qualify for the loan.

Explanation: Depending on the interest rates this could be higher, however you should not spend more than 28% of your gross income on your mortgage.
