Can I Afford It

About

What this is

Can I Afford It takes what you're thinking about buying - a car, a house, kids, a vacation, a watch, whatever - and weighs it against your income, credit score, and existing debt, so you get an honest risk read before you commit to anything.

How the risk score works

It's a simple, transparent heuristic: how much of your monthly income a purchase (or its monthly payment, for financed things like a car or a house) would consume, adjusted up or down based on your credit score and any existing debt you tell us about. Nothing here comes from a credit bureau or a lender - it's all computed from what you type in.
