UK Household Mortgage Budget

Published by REO Technologies · Publisher contact: Abdul Raheem. Explanation and example arithmetic revised 2026-10-26; source-specific dates are stated separately. No licensed financial review is claimed.

Use actual take-home income, living costs and debt payments to estimate a repayment budget.

Enter current figures from your documents and quotes. Budget settings are editable. Inputs stay in this tab and are not saved or sent by the calculator.

Reference scope documented 2026-10-25. Residential tax bands are jurisdiction-specific. Rates, fees, budget buffers and lender ratios must come from current quotes or clearly labeled assumptions. Confirm legal buyer status and scheme conditions.

Your inputs

Actual monthly take-home household income (GBP)Enter your current figure; zero explicitly excludes an optional cost.

Monthly living and housing costs excluding proposed P&I (GBP)Enter your current figure; zero explicitly excludes an optional cost.

Monthly commitments not already in living costs (GBP)Enter your current figure; zero explicitly excludes an optional cost.

Cash deposit available after closing reserves (GBP)Enter your current figure; zero explicitly excludes an optional cost.

Actual / scenario annual nominal mortgage rate (%)Enter your current figure; zero explicitly excludes an optional cost.

Extra scenario assessment buffer (percentage points)Enter your current figure; zero explicitly excludes an optional cost.

Remaining repayment yearsMatch the contract or select a clearly labeled planning scenario.

How this estimate works

Monthly allowance = max(0, take-home income − living costs − separate debt commitments). Supported principal is allowance / payment per unit of principal at the entered rate plus buffer.

Assumptions and limits

Amounts are GBP. Enter actual quotes, balances and costs. Planning settings are editable assumptions; no lender rate is fabricated.
Monthly nominal-rate amortization; fixed-rate projection across the entered remaining repayment period. Actual daily accrual, payment dates, product fees, rate resets and lender rounding can differ.
This is educational scenario arithmetic, not a mortgage offer, agreement in principle, tax assessment or scheme/credit approval.
No flat tax deduction or automatic 4.5× income cap is imposed. Lender-specific affordability, accepted income and loan-to-value limits require individual assessment.

Monthly living and housing costs excluding proposed P&I (GBP)	2,000
Monthly commitments not already in living costs (GBP)	0
Cash deposit available after closing reserves (GBP)	87,500
Actual / scenario annual nominal mortgage rate (%)	4.48
Extra scenario assessment buffer (percentage points)	0
Remaining repayment years	25

Calculated measure	Result
Monthly P&I budget after entered commitments	£3,000.00
Principal fitting that budget	£540,834.95
Budget-only price including available deposit	£628,334.95
Entered rate plus scenario buffer	4.48%

Amounts use unrounded intermediate arithmetic and are rounded only for display. Selecting different costs, rates, payment dates or terms changes the result; no illustration value is prefilled into your personal financial fields.
