Interactive Calculators: Maximum Borrowing

Various lenders use slightly different formulae to calculate the amount of money that they are willing to lend to you. Although some lenders use an affordability formula based on your monthly expenses and disposable income, most use something similar to the multiples method outlined below. You can usually find out what criteria will be used by a particular lender by looking on their website, reading their product literature or telephoning them.

Use this calculator to work out approximately how much you will be able to borrow according to different lending criteria. Remember that your individual history and other circumstances can sometimes affect the amount you can obtain, so use this only as an indication.
