Higher multiples are typically only available to higher earners or via specific lender schemes — always confirm with a broker or lender. Existing monthly debt commitments reduce what a lender will actually offer, even though the income-multiple figures above don't factor that in directly.

This tool applies the rough income-multiple rules lenders use as a starting point, then shows what the resulting loan would actually cost you each month. Its main limitation is that real affordability assessments are far more forensic than a simple multiple — lenders stress-test your income against existing debt, spending patterns, dependants and credit history, so the true figure a lender offers you could be higher or considerably lower than shown here.
