Mortgage Affordability Calculator — How Much Can You Borrow?

See exactly how much you can borrow — and what your monthly payment looks like if rates climb 3%. Uses your country’s real income multiples and lending rules.

How lenders decide what you can borrow

Most lenders use two tests: an income multiple (typically 4–5× salary) and an affordability stress test at a higher rate (usually current rate + 3%). The lower of the two limits what you can borrow.

A larger deposit doesn't increase your borrowing limit — but it does reduce your LTV ratio, which typically unlocks lower interest rates and avoids mortgage insurance requirements.
