What this tool does not do / Limits

This is an estimate only and is not financial advice. It uses gross income before tax and only the debt payments you enter, so lenders may count different debts or use net income and reach a different figure.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use gross or net income?

This tool uses gross income, which is the usual basis for this ratio. Using net income instead would give a higher percentage.

Which payments count as debts?

Loan, card minimum, mortgage and similar fixed debt payments. Everyday spending on food or utilities is not a debt payment for this ratio.
