How do I apply a mortgage calculator to find out what I can afford?

A PoundWise Team Answered by

To apply a mortgage calculator, start by gathering your financial details, including your income, expenses, and any debts. Input these numbers into the calculator along with the desired mortgage term and interest rate. The calculator will estimate how much you can borrow and your monthly payments. It’s a useful tool to get an idea of your budget before speaking to a mortgage lender. For precise advice tailored to your circumstances, consider consulting with an FCA-authorised mortgage adviser.
