Sección 1: Mecánica del cálculo

Cómo funciona este cálculo (en lenguaje sencillo)

The standard 30% rule dictates that rent should not exceed 30% of your gross monthly income. However, if you carry substantial student loans, auto payments, or credit card debt, spending 30% on rent leaves you cash-starved. This tool applies the mortgage underwriting 28/36 rule: total monthly debt plus housing obligations should not exceed 36% of gross income.

Preguntas frecuentes

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Calculadora de Alquiler Asequible

What is the "40x Rule" used by NYC and large city landlords?

Many landlords require your annual gross salary to be at least 40 times the monthly rent. For a $2,000/month apartment, you need a minimum salary of $80,000 ($2,000 × 40). This is equivalent to spending 30% of your gross income on rent.

What should I do if rent in my city exceeds 30% of my income?

In ultra-competitive rental markets, take on a roommate to split fixed bedroom costs, look along transit corridors outside city centers, or negotiate for included parking and utilities.
