You can afford around 1,500 a month in rent.

  • Aim for about 1,500 in rent. That leaves room in your budget at your chosen 30% target.
  • A comfortable budget is 1,250 (25%); going above 1,750 (35%) starts to strain most budgets.
  • Remember rent is only part of housing: budget for utilities, renter insurance, and any parking or pet fees too.

Next stepSubtract expected utilities from this figure to find the listing price you should actually search for.
