How this is calculated▾
We take your income less recurring debt commitments and apply the widely-used rent-to-income guideline: 25% conservative, 30% comfortable and 35% stretch. Above 30% is generally considered rental stress in Australia.
- Income is after-tax (take-home).
- Guideline only: utilities, groceries, and lifestyle vary.
