How to use this calculator

  2. Set aside stamp duty and other costs before entering your deposit.
  3. Treat the result as a starting ceiling, then check repayments against your actual household spending.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Put the numbers in context

For first-time buyers earning €80,000 together with a €40,000 deposit, this model gives a €360,000 budget: a €320,000 mortgage plus the deposit.

Your questions, answered

Is this mortgage approval?

No. A lender considers debt payments, living costs, dependants, credit history and its own lending policies.

Are exceptions included?

No. The tool uses standard limits, not lender flexibility allowances, bridging loans or special cases.

What limits the budget?

The lower of the income-based purchase budget and the budget supported by a 10% deposit.
