Calculators

The number tools, for working out a deal from every angle.

Each one is built to the same standards lenders and brokers actually use, so the figures you get are the figures that matter when you apply. Results update as you type, with the working shown. No sign up, nothing stored on a server.

Affordability calculator

See the maximum buy to let mortgage you could borrow, based on the rent and the lender's interest cover ratio and stress rate. If a loan fails the test, it also tells you the rent you would need to make it work.

How much rent do I need

Looking at a property? Enter the loan you want and see the monthly rent a lender would need to see, at the interest cover ratio that fits your situation, with the figure at 125%, 145% and 165% side by side.

Stamp duty calculator

Work out the full stamp duty bill on a buy to let or second property across England and Northern Ireland (SDLT), Scotland (LBTT) and Wales (LTT), including the additional property surcharge, with the band by band breakdown.

Capital gains tax calculator

Selling a buy to let? Estimate the capital gains tax you'll owe, with the £3,000 allowance, your allowable costs and the 18% and 24% rates worked out against your income band.

Profit and ROI calculator

See the real return on a rental after every cost, not just the rent minus the mortgage. Cash invested, monthly cash flow, and annual return on your money.

Mortgage comparison

Compare two or three mortgage products side by side on true total cost, including product fees, valuation costs and cashback, so you can see which is actually cheapest rather than which has the lowest rate.

Remortgage and ERC calculator

Weighing up leaving a deal early, for a better rate or to release equity? See whether the saving beats the early repayment charge, with your new monthly payment, the total cost to switch and the break-even point in months.

Bridging calculator

Work out the net loan, costs and fees on a bridging facility, and understand the gap between the gross and net loan amount.
