Buy-To-Let Interest Coverage Ratio Calculator (United Kingdom)

Buy-To-Let Interest Coverage Ratio Calculator (United Kingdom): a planned Super Calculator tool. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.

Buy-To-Let Interest Coverage Ratio Calculator (United Kingdom) is a planned calculator in the real estate section of Super Calculator, covering country mortgage regimes.

What this calculator will compute

Inputs: monthly rent (GBP), loan amount (GBP), pay rate (%), stress rate (%), minimum ICR (%) and taxpayer band.

Outputs: ICR achieved (%), maximum loan supported (GBP), rent required to pass (GBP) and post-tax cash flow (GBP).

Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: ICR = expected rental income / interest at a stressed rate. PRA underwriting standards require lenders to stress buy-to-let affordability at a rate above the pay rate and to apply a minimum coverage ratio that is higher for higher-rate taxpayers because of the restriction of finance cost relief to a basic-rate tax credit.
