Calculate Your Maximum Mortgage

As an employee, your borrowing capacity is primarily based on your gross annual income.

Key facts for your mortgage:

• Maximum Loan: You can borrow up to 100% of the property's market value.
• Sustainability: You can finance up to 106% of the value if you invest in energy-saving improvements for your new home.
• 30-Year Term: Most mortgages in the Netherlands are repaid over a 30-year period.
• Tax Benefits: To qualify for mortgage interest deduction (hypotheekrenteaftrek), you are required to repay the loan using a fixed schedule, such as an annuity or linear mortgage.
