How Much Could You Borrow If You're Self-Employed?
Our free Self-Employed Mortgage Calculator provides you with an instant estimate of how much you could potentially borrow for a mortgage based on your annual income and financial commitments.
Whether you’re a sole trader, freelancer or limited company director, simply enter a few details about your earnings, available deposit and preferred mortgage term to receive an initial borrowing estimate.
For a more detailed understanding of your borrowing potential, our fee-free mortgage advisers can review your accounts, proof of income and financial circumstances, helping you identify suitable lenders and explore the mortgage options available.

How Can You Use Your Self-Employed Mortgage Calculator Results?
The results from the Self-Employed Mortgage Calculator will provide you with an insight into your current borrowing potential. This can be a great starting point to start considering your options and what may be possible before applying for a mortgage.
With a better understanding of how much you could borrow, you can begin to explore:
- Your property budget: Combine your estimated mortgage borrowing with your available deposit to get an idea of the property prices you could consider.
- Your deposit options: Explore how increasing your deposit could reduce your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and potentially give you access to a wider range of mortgage products.
- Your mortgage options: Consider different mortgage types, terms and products before discussing which lenders may be suitable for your self-employed income.
It’s important to note that the self-employed income may be assessed differently depending on your business structure. Lenders may assess your net profits, salary and dividends, or previous years’ earnings when calculating affordability.
As a result, the amount you could actually borrow may be higher or lower than your initial calculator estimate.
