Cash flow after housing

A home should leave room for a life.

Start with the money that reaches your account. Subtract housing, commitments and the savings you want to keep. This is a personal spending exercise, not a lender’s approval.

Your scenario

Replace the examples with your own amounts. All amounts are Canadian dollars.

Nothing is saved or sent when you calculate.

What this calculation does

The assumptions
stay in view.

  • Use after-tax income and consistent monthly amounts. Convert annual and irregular expenses before entering them.
  • Savings are treated as a commitment, not as whatever happens to be left.
  • This does not calculate mortgage qualification, income tax or investment returns.
