We use the widely recommended 30% rule — your rent should ideally be no more than 30% of your after-tax income. We also factor in your existing expenses to give you a realistic maximum budget.
The lower of 30% of income or your disposable income minus a safety buffer is shown as your recommended rent.
Our advisors can help you explore ways to reduce your outgoings and manage debt, so more of your income goes towards the things that matter — like keeping a roof over your head.
