Rent Affordability Calculator

See the income needed for a given rent, or the rent you can afford on your income.

Letting agents and landlords typically look for an annual income of around 30 times the monthly rent, or about 36 times where a guarantor is providing cover. Use the calculator to check the income a rent requires, or the rent your income could support. These figures are a guide only and not a guarantee of a successful application.

Enter a monthly rent to see the income typically required.

This is a guide only. Individual landlords, letting agents, and referencing providers apply their own affordability criteria, and a successful reference also considers credit history, employment status, and other factors beyond income.
