How much do I need to earn to get a mortgage?

How much income is required to get a mortgage

This is a guide to how much a mortgage lender may lend you based on a multiple of 4.49 times of your income, either single or joint. 

Some lenders will use a multiple of 5.0 times at around £80,000 – £100,000 of income.

Note: many factors affect how much a lender will offer. Your credit commitments are a major one, so any loans, credit cards or the number of children you have will likely reduce the amounts offered.
