Frequently asked questions

Is one month the legal limit?

Not necessarily. This calculator applies no local rule; enter the amount appropriate to your lease and jurisdiction.

Is this a loan approval or credit decision?

No. This is a numerical calculator only; lenders may use different income, debt, appraisal and fee policies.

Should I use gross or net income?

Use the income type named by the field. Do not substitute net for gross because it changes the denominator and result.
