How to Use Our Mortgage Calculator
Enter your annual income and deposit amount to see how much you could potentially borrow. Our calculator uses a standard 5x income multiplier and considers minimum deposit requirements to give you an estimate of your maximum property value.
What Affects How Much You Can Borrow?
- Your income - Lenders typically offer 4-5.5 times your annual salary
- Your deposit - A larger deposit means you can access better rates and borrow more
- Your credit score - A good credit history helps you access the best deals
- Your outgoings - Existing debts and commitments affect affordability
- Property type - Some property types may have lending restrictions
- Employment status - Employed applicants are typically easier to assess than self-employed
Mortgage Calculator FAQs
- How accurate is a mortgage calculator?
- Our calculator provides a useful estimate based on standard lending criteria. The actual amount you can borrow depends on individual lender assessments, your credit history, and other personal factors.
- What deposit do I need?
- Most lenders require a minimum 5% deposit for residential properties and 25% for buy-to-let. A larger deposit typically gives you access to better interest rates.
