How Rent Affordability Rules Work

The 30% Rule

A classic rule of thumb advising that you allocate no more than 30% of your gross monthly income towards rent, leaving sufficient funds for living expenses and savings.

The 36% Debt-to-Income Rule

If you carry student loans, car notes, or credit card balances, this rule ensures your total monthly debt payments (including rent) stay under 36% of gross income.
