Rent Calculator: Determine Your Ideal Monthly Rental Budget

The Rent Calculator helps you estimate how much you can afford to spend on rent each month based on your income and existing debt obligations. This easy-to-use tool follows standard financial guidelines to provide personalized recommendations, ensuring you maintain a healthy budget while searching for your next home.

Key Features:

✅ Income-Based Calculation – Enter your pre-tax annual income to determine your monthly rental budget.
✅ Debt Consideration – Accounts for existing monthly debt payments (loans, credit cards, etc.) to provide a realistic estimate.
✅ Smart Recommendations – Shows three affordability levels:

• Safe (25% of income) – Ideal for financial stability.
• Acceptable (30% of income) – Common budgeting standard.
• Aggressive (40% of income) – Higher risk, less savings flexibility.

  ✅ Visual Graph – Quickly compare affordability ranges at a glance.
