Not Financial, Legal, or Tax Advice

The content on this website does not constitute financial, legal, tax, or professional advice of any kind. The calculators, guides, and information provided are educational tools designed to help you understand general concepts related to rental affordability and budgeting.

We strongly recommend that you consult with qualified financial advisors, certified public accountants, tax professionals, or legal counsel before making any financial decisions. Every individual's financial situation is unique, and what may be appropriate for one person may not be suitable for another.

Calculator Accuracy and Limitations

Our rent affordability calculators and financial tools are designed to provide estimates based on the information you input and commonly accepted financial guidelines (such as the 30% rent rule). However, these tools have important limitations:

  • Calculations are based on generalized formulas and may not account for all variables relevant to your specific situation
  • Results depend entirely on the accuracy of the information you provide
  • Regional variations in cost of living, housing markets, and local regulations are not fully captured
  • Economic conditions, interest rates, and market dynamics change frequently
  • The tools do not consider your complete financial picture, including debts, savings goals, or future plans

No Guarantee of Results

We do not guarantee that using our calculators or following any advice, recommendations, or information on this website will result in any particular outcome. Your ability to afford rent, qualify for housing, or achieve financial goals depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including but not limited to:

  • Your income, employment status, and financial history
  • Local housing market conditions and landlord requirements
  • Your credit score and rental history
  • Economic conditions and unforeseen circumstances

The results provided by our calculators should be used as starting points for your own research and decision-making process, not as definitive answers.
