How this calculator works

Enter the loan amount you want, the interest rate and the lender’s required interest coverage ratio (e.g. 125% or 145%). The calculator shows the minimum gross monthly rent needed to meet that coverage at a typical stressed rate. Use it to quickly check if a property’s rental yield is sufficient for a UK BTL mortgage.

Rental Income
Requirements

Before purchasing a buy-to-let property, it's crucial to understand the minimum rental income you'll need to secure a mortgage. Lenders use this to ensure the property can service the debt even if interest rates rise.

The rental coverage requirement varies by lender but typically ranges from 125% to 145% of the monthly mortgage payment. Higher-rate taxpayers often face stricter requirements, sometimes needing 145% coverage or more.

Our calculator works backwards from your desired mortgage amount to show the minimum rent you'd need to achieve. This helps you evaluate whether a potential investment property will meet lender requirements before you commit to a purchase.
