Mortgage Affordability Calculator

Tips on using our affordability calculator

Fill in applicant's name

It may seem like an obvious step but it is very important. This calculator will need to be printed or saved as a PDF and sent to us as part of the application form so it’s important that the applicant’s name is included.

Mortgage and affordability details

Fill out all of the mortgage details (Loan amount, term, etc.) and the affordability details (Dependants, remuneration, other essentials outgoings, etc.)

Keep the following in mind when completing the calculator to ensure that all the details are captured correctly:

i.	General Home Insurance Premiums - Other Properties: This refers to those with multiple properties and not for the applicant’s new home. If you have additional properties please input the total insurance payment for your additional properties here.
ii.	Credit card: If balance paid in full each month then zero to be entered If balance not cleared then minimum 5% of outstanding balance to be entered
iii.	Other mortgages: This refers to other mortgages (Consumer buy to let, holiday home or investment property loans) that will continue following the drawdown of the new mortgage We require this repayment to be stress tested as follows:
		Product	Stress Rate +
		Capital & Interest contracts	3% above current rate
		Interest Only (I/O contract is for duration of Proposed Mortgage)	3% above current rate on Interest only basis
		Interest Only (I/O matures pre-expiry date of this Proposed Mortgage)	3% above current rate and on a Capital & Interest basis

	Example The current repayment is worked out as follows: £100,000 over 20 years at a rate of 3% = £560.14 The stressed repayment is worked out as follows (using the same example): £100,000 over 20 years at a stressed rate of 6% (i.e. 3% + 3%) = £726.54
iv.	Co-ownership Housing rental repayment: Please add the Co-Ownership Housing monthly rental repayment in the relevant section under ‘Credit Commitments’.
