Plan remortgage affordability, monthly repayment changes, interest-rate changes, salary, bills, debts, and overpayment scenarios.
How remortgage is worked out
Remortgaging is a different question from a first purchase: the balance is already set, and what matters is how a new rate changes the monthly payment against your take-home pay.

What is not decided here
PayBreakdown does not decide payroll correctness, lender approval, benefit entitlement or employer compliance, and does not give regulated financial, mortgage, debt, tax, payroll or legal advice.
What would change this figure
Interest rate, term, fees, deposit and the credit commitments you already have all move the result, and a lender applies its own affordability policy and credit checks on top. Treat the number as a way to see whether a repayment looks comfortable or stretched, not as an offer — and read it against your real bills, savings and any income change you expect. See how each deduction is worked out.
Is the remortgage affordability calculator financial advice?
No. It is an estimate worked from published HMRC and GOV.UK figures for the current tax year, using the assumptions shown on this page. It cannot see your tax code history, benefits in kind or employer payroll rules, so check important decisions against your payslip, official guidance or a qualified adviser.
Can I adjust the assumptions?
Yes. Open the linked calculator to change the salary, pension, tax code, region or student loan plan and the figures update as you type.
