How
large a mortgage could you borrow
You can use this calculator as a guide to determine
what the mortgage companies will allow you to borrow. There are
a lot of factors, of course, which will ultimately determine how
much your bank or Mortgage Company will lend you, but gross income
and current credit or debt payments are the most heavily weighted
qualifiers.
There are however, two main factors which have
an effect on the amount you are able borrow - your gross annual
salary and the amount that the lender is prepared to lend in relation
to that salary. Most lenders will currently lend a maximum of 3.5
times the first income plus one times the second income. If you
are married or have a partner they will usually be prepared to add
the two incomes together and multiply the combined figure by 2.5
times if this gives a higher figure than the first method.
Use the calculator below to work out how much you will be able to
borrow. The calculator has been pre-set with the multiples shown
above but if you have found a lender who is prepared to advance
more than this then you may change the income multiple boxes to
obtain the figure available.
