What is the 30% rule?

It's a financial guideline suggesting you spend no more than 30% of your gross income on housing to ensure you have enough for other essentials.

Gross vs Net

This calculator uses Gross Income (before taxes). Remember that your take-home pay will be lower, so budget accordingly.

Other Costs

Don't forget to factor in utilities, renters insurance, and parking which are often separate from the base rent.
