Rent Affordability

Gross monthly income and max % for rent—suggested monthly rent cap (rule-of-thumb).

30% is a common planning guideline—not financial advice.

FAQ

Is “gross monthly income” before or after tax?

The tool only does income × (cap% ÷ 100) as a suggested rent ceiling. Cap must be 0 < % ≤ 100. It does not know your tax bracket, deductions, or local rent rules—treat it as a planning shortcut, not a lease qualification.

Does the decimal separator matter?

This calculator uses plain decimal numbers. If a result looks wrong, check whether you used a comma instead of a dot (or vice versa) where the field expects one.
