Visualise your capacity.
How your monthly income would be allocated, and how loan tenure changes the property value you can afford.
Income Allocation
How your monthly income is split
- Existing debt obligations
- Headroom for new mortgage EMI
- Reserved for non-debt living expenses (50% per Central Bank)
Tenure Sensitivity
Affordability by loan period
Important
- We apply the UAE Central Bank's 50% Debt Burden Ratio and the LTV cap for your residency and property-value bracket. Real underwriting also factors credit cards (5% of limit counts as debt), school fees if financed, and any other obligations.
- Off-plan and second-property purchases face tighter LTV caps. Numbers may be lower than shown in those cases.
- Rates shown are estimation defaults. Actual bank rates depend on your profile, market conditions, and the EIBOR-linked variable period that follows any fixed-rate window.
- Final approval depends on bank underwriting and credit history. Speak with one of our licensed mortgage advisors before committing.

— FAQs —
Frequently asked questions about the affordability calculator.
Quick answers to the questions UAE buyers ask most often before they apply.
How is affordability calculated in the UAE?
Affordability is calculated based on your monthly income, existing liabilities, and the UAE bank Debt-Burden Ratio (DBR), which typically allows up to 50% of your income to go toward total debt repayments.
What income do I need to buy property in Dubai?
There's no fixed minimum income, but most banks require enough salary to comfortably support mortgage repayments while staying within the 50% DBR limit. Higher income increases borrowing capacity.
Does this calculator include existing loans and credit cards?
Yes, existing liabilities such as personal loans, car loans, and credit cards are included as they directly impact your borrowing eligibility under UAE Central Bank rules.
How accurate is the affordability calculator?
It provides a strong estimate based on UAE banking rules, but final approval depends on the bank's credit assessment, income verification, and documentation review.
Can expats use the affordability calculator?
Yes, the calculator is designed for both expats and UAE nationals, and reflects standard UAE mortgage lending practices for all residents.
