Borrowing Capacity Calculator

This borrowing capacity calculator will allow you to estimate the amount that you likely will be able to borrow from a lending institute. This calculator also shows how much you could borrow with a slightly larger payment per period. When estimating how much you can afford to pay we recommend being slightly conservative with the amount that you use just to take into account the need for emergency funds.
