Important information

This calculator provides an indicative estimate of how much you may be able to borrow, based on the information you enter, such as household income, deposit amount and buyer type.

The results are for guidance only and do not take into account all financial commitments or personal circumstances. Actual borrowing limits will depend on the lender’s credit assessment, affordability checks and full application review. All mortgage lending is subject to assessment, lender criteria and a full application process.

This calculator does not guarantee mortgage approval or any specific loan amount.

WARNING: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.

WARNING: If you do not keep up your repayments you may lose your home.

WARNING: You may have to pay charges if you pay off a fixed-rate loan early.

WARNING: The cost of your monthly repayments may increase.

Mortgage calculator FAQs

Here are some common questions to help you get the most out of our mortgage calculator.

How did you calculate these results?

We’ve used the details you entered—your buyer type, annual household income, and deposit amount—to give an indicative estimate of how much you may be able to borrow. The calculation applies standard affordability rules used across the Irish mortgage market, including typical loan-to-income limits. It’s designed to give you a quick sense of what’s possible, rather than a final figure.

How accurate is this mortgage calculator?

Think of it as a guide rather than a guarantee. The calculator provides an estimate based on the information you’ve shared, but lenders will also consider other factors such as your monthly outgoings, existing loans, and credit history. Market conditions and interest rates can change, too. For a personalised figure, it’s always best to speak directly with a mortgage broker.

I’m self-employed or earn bonuses, how should I enter my income?

If you’re self-employed, use your average annual income over the past two to three years, as this is typically what lenders will assess. For bonuses or commission, include only the portion that’s regular and guaranteed. If your earnings vary, it’s better to be conservative—this will give you a more realistic picture of what you might borrow.

What’s the next step if I’m happy with the numbers?

If the estimate looks right for you, the next step is to explore your mortgage options in more detail. You can arrange a consultation with one of our mortgage brokers, who’ll review your full financial situation and help you find the most suitable product.
