Buy-to-let mortgage calculator
Estimate how much you could borrow as a landlord based on your rental income and deposit, and calculate your potential monthly repayments.
Your details
Property value Enter the purchase price or current value of the property. This helps calculate how much you can borrow and your LTV ratio.
Deposit The upfront amount you plan to put down. A higher deposit lowers your LTV and could unlock better mortgage rates.
Interest rate Enter the annual interest rate for your mortgage. This affects your monthly repayments and total repayment amount.
Mortgage term (years) The number of years over which you’ll repay the mortgage. Longer terms lower monthly payments but increase total interest paid.
Rental income Enter the monthly rental income you expect from the property. This figure helps calculate rental yield and assess profitability.

Your buy-to-let calculator questions answered
What does a buy-to-let calculator show?
A buy-to-let calculator gives you an estimate of what a rental property mortgage could look like based on the figures you enter.
It may help you check the relationship between the property value, deposit, mortgage amount and expected rental income.
How do lenders assess buy-to-let affordability?
Buy-to-let lenders usually focus on whether the rental income is strong enough to cover the mortgage payment by a required margin.
They may also look at the deposit, loan-to-value, property type, your landlord experience, personal income and wider financial position.
How much deposit do I need for a buy-to-let mortgage?
Buy-to-let mortgages often require a larger deposit than standard residential mortgages.
Many lenders expect at least 20% to 25%, although the exact amount can depend on the lender, property, rental income and your circumstances.
Does rental income affect how much I can borrow?
Yes. Rental income is usually one of the main factors lenders use when assessing a buy-to-let mortgage.
If the expected rent is too low compared with the mortgage amount, the lender may reduce the amount they are willing to lend or decline the application.
Can I use this calculator for a limited company buy-to-let?
You can use the calculator as a rough starting point, but limited company buy-to-let mortgages may be assessed differently.
Lender criteria, stress testing and tax considerations can vary, so it is worth getting advice before deciding on the right structure.
Are buy-to-let mortgages regulated?
Most buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
However, some buy-to-let cases may be regulated, such as certain family-related or consumer buy-to-let situations. A broker can help you understand which category may apply.
