How Do You Calculate What A Contractor Can Borrow?

The amount self-employed contractors can borrow depends on a few factors:

As mentioned, mortgage lenders will use your gross income (before tax and other deductions) to assess how much you can borrow. This often allows for a larger mortgage than previously possible based on company accounts. The lender will multiply your gross day rate by the days worked per week then multiply that by 46 or 48 weeks depending on the lender. This will normally show a much higher income than your SA302s or company accounts.

As with any type of mortgage, your credit history will significantly impact how much you can borrow. If you have a good credit history, this demonstrates to lenders that you are reliable and likely to meet your repayments. Therefore, you’re more likely to be able to achieve maximum borrowing and a lower rate.

You can get a mortgage with a little as 5% deposit even as a contractor. The size of your deposit will also impact how much you can borrow. If self-employed/contractor applicants put down a larger deposit, they’ll benefit from lower rates, as the lender will consider you more reliable.

This ratio, which compares your overall debt to your income, is used by lenders in their mortgage calculators to determine your ability to manage payments.

Mortgage lenders typically offer 4-5 times your annual income, but it can vary depending on the lender and the individual circumstances. However, this is not set in stone, as the factors above will heavily influence the borrowing amount.

Stepping into the world of mortgages as a contractor might seem daunting, but with the right guidance, it’s a journey filled with promise.

At Jones and Young, we’ve streamlined the process, ensuring that contractors have as smooth a path as any traditional employee. With our expertise by your side, securing a mortgage becomes not just feasible but straightforward.

 

While the general guideline suggests an income range of £80,000 to £100,000 for a £400k mortgage, it’s essential to remember that every financial situation is unique.
