Check your mortgage affordability

Mortgage affordability is a test run by a lender to learn how you could afford to repay each month. They want to ensure that you can afford your mortgage repayments as well as your other everyday spending. 

Our mortgage affordability calculator can give you an idea of where your borrowing power sits.

We'll ask you for some more information, such as your income and outgoings, then we'll search through a pool of over 50 lenders to give you a more accurate estimate of your mortgage affordability. No credit checks required!

How do I calculate how much I can borrow?

Your borrowing capacity or power is typically your annual income multiplied by 4.5, but your deposit plays a role as well. There are circumstances where the lender may offer more or less than this. If you're borrowing with someone else, a lender may combine your incomes.

What mortgage can I get on a 30k salary?

You may be able to borrow more with a bigger deposit. Enter some figures into the borrowing amount calculator to find out how much you could borrow. 

How does my deposit affect how much I can borrow?

A deposit typically needs to be at least 5% of the property value. The higher the property value, the bigger the deposit. Alternatively, the bigger the deposit, the more of the property you'll own compared to your loan. This is called loan-to-value (LTV).
