Your data never leaves your computer.
How to use this tool
Enter your gross monthly income and choose an affordability percentage (30% is common). Add monthly debt payments if you want a more conservative view, then review the suggested maximum rent budget.
Worked example
Example: $6,000/month gross income at the 30% rule suggests a maximum rent budget of about $1,800/month, with a more conservative 25% guideline of $1,500/month.
How it works
Enter gross monthly or annual income, an affordability percentage (commonly 30%), and optional monthly debt payments. Maximum rent is estimated from income × affordability percent, with a more conservative 25% guideline shown for comparison. Local market costs, utilities, and deposits are not included.

Frequently asked questions
What rent guideline does this use?
By default it uses 30% of gross income, a common budgeting rule of thumb. You can change the percentage, and a 25% conservative estimate is also shown.
How do debt payments affect the result?
Optional monthly debt payments are subtracted from the rent budget so less income is treated as available for housing.
Is this financial advice?
No. This is a simple estimate. Local housing costs, taxes, and your personal budget may require a different rent target.
