If you were to visit a high street lender, they will often look to combine earnings as a combination of salary and dividends, salary and net profit or salary and operating profit. This combination can limit your borrowing potential.
Below is an assumed, but typical salary and dividend withdrawal from a Limited Company and an estimated calculation of your borrowing potential if you are assessed in this way, based on a typical 4.5 income multiple.
The example borrowing calculation below highlights how a traditional high street lender would look to assess how much you can borrow. It is calculated in a very different way to how a Contractor Specialist Mortgage Consultant would approach assessing your affordability; as you see from the calculation, by taking the figure from our calculator above and comparing it with the figure below, the calculations differ and how utilising your day rate ultimately improves the overall amount you can borrow.
CMME will look to assess your borrowing potential by utilising your daily or hourly contract rate to maximise your lending capacity.
