Affordability Calculator

This is one of the most difficult questions to answer. In the olden days lenders where pretty much uniformed and they would lend depending on salary and it was very easy to work out. Nowadays it is a lot more difficult to predict as they all use different formulas depending on your personal circumstances. Most lenders work on a credit-scoring basis, which determines how much you can borrow.

EXAMPLE
Single person, no dependents, no personal loans or credit cards.
Basic income £20,000
Regular overtime £2,000
Regular Bonus £2,000
----------
TOTAL INCOME £24,000 per Ann.

Lender 1. £70,000
Lender 2. £77,000
Lender 3. £84,000
Lender 4. £94,950
Lender 5. £109,552
