Frequently Asked Questions

How much of my income should go to rent?

A common guideline is to keep rent at or below 30% of your gross monthly income. Up to 40% is a stretch; above that, budgeting becomes tight.

Does this include maintenance and bills?

This calculates base rent affordability. Remember to also budget separately for maintenance, electricity, water and internet.

Should I count my EMIs?

Yes — enter your existing EMIs and we deduct them so your rent estimate reflects what you can truly afford.
