Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How accurate is this mortgage affordability calculator?

Our calculator uses the latest lending guidelines and financial models to provide highly accurate affordability estimates. However, we always recommend consulting with a mortgage expert for personalized advice.

We consider your gross income, additional sources of revenue, and your debt-to-income ratio to ensure precise affordability estimates.

Yes! Our calculator allows you to estimate affordability for rental properties, second homes, and investment properties by adjusting key financial inputs.

Your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) plays a crucial role in determining how much you can borrow. A lower DTI increases your chances of securing a higher mortgage amount at better rates.

Once you’ve received your affordability estimate, the next step is to consult with our mortgage experts to explore your options and get pre-approved for a mortgage.
