How Affordability Calculator Works
Monthly Income
Your income is a crucially important factor in working out how much you can borrow, as lenders want to ensure that you can meet your repayments and will not default on your loan.
Generally speaking, your annual income cannot be more than seven times the loan you’d like to take out, and your monthly debts cannot be more than 50% of your monthly income.
Monthly Debt
UAE lenders use a concept called Debt-Burden-Ratio (DBR) to calculate how much you can afford to borrow. Your DBR is your monthly debts (including any future mortgage payments) as a ratio of your monthly income.
Lenders will often use a high interest rate to calculate your future mortgage payment, to account for any interest rate hikes.
Down Payment
The UAE Mortgage Cap law requires non-UAE nationals to have a cash down payment of at least 25% of the property value (20% for UAE nationals) plus associated purchase costs.
