Your questions, answered
Is there an official rent-to-income percentage?
This tool does not apply a statutory percentage or predict landlord approval. It works from your own spending.
Are deposits included?
No. This is a recurring monthly budget. Plan separately for the deposit and moving costs.
Does it include Rent Tax Credit?
No. Avoid relying on a refund until eligibility and timing are confirmed.
