Mortgage and protection calculators.

A full set of free calculators from an expert broker. Indicative figures with no email required, then a real answer when you are ready to talk.

Calculators give you a starting figure. An adviser gives you a real one. Lender criteria vary by case, by month and by product, and the difference between an indicative number and what a lender will actually agree can be 10 to 20% in either direction. Use these to scope the conversation and budget the upfront costs, then book a call when you are ready for an answer you can offer on.

Numbers first

Run the numbers before anyone runs a credit check

Every calculator here is free, anonymous and instant. When the numbers look right, a quick 15-minute call turns them into a plan.

Start a Decision in Principle

Calculator questions we hear a lot

How accurate are these calculators?

They are indicative only. Lender criteria vary by case, by month and by product. Use a calculator to scope the conversation, not to commit to a purchase. The real answer comes from a fact-find with an adviser who can apply current criteria to your case.

Will using a calculator leave a mark on my credit file?

No. None of these calculators run a credit search. The Decision in Principle tool asks for soft data only, and the soft search we run at the lender stage does not affect your credit score. We always confirm before any hard search.

Why does the calculator say one number and the lender say another?

Calculators apply broad income multiples. Lenders apply their own affordability models, which adjust for child costs, commitments, pension contributions, retained profits and many other factors. The calculator is a starting point. The lender model is the answer.

Do you charge to use the calculators?

No. Every calculator on this page is free, with no sign-up required for most. The Decision in Principle tool asks for an email so we can call you back within four hours.

Which calculator should I start with?

For most clients, the Affordability estimator first to scope borrowing, then the Mortgage payment calculator to check the monthly cost, then the Stamp Duty calculator to budget the upfront tax. For landlords, start with Rental yield and the Buy to let property portfolio stress test.

Are the protection calculators live yet?

Five protection calculators are on the way, and will go live in stages. Until then, each card links to the related advice page. To get sized cover quickly in the meantime, book a quick 15-minute call with Ollie Allen and we will model premiums directly with you.
