Mortgage Affordability Calculator

Calculate how much home you can afford based on your income.

What this calculator does

General guideline: you can afford a mortgage of 3-5x your annual income.

How it works

Debts reduce your mortgage eligibility.

When to use this calculator

Use this calculator before making any financial commitment that depends on this type of calculation. Running the numbers in advance lets you evaluate options without the pressure of a live negotiation or decision deadline.

Common mistakes

Many financial calculation errors stem from omitting ancillary costs: fees, taxes, insurance, or maintenance. The headline figure (interest rate, monthly payment) is rarely the complete cost of a financial product.

Real-world scenarios

An employee receives a counter-offer from another employer: a £4,000 salary increase but no pension contribution versus the current role's lower salary with 8% employer pension. Running both through the finance calculator shows the true net financial value of each offer.

Frequently asked questions
