How Much Rent Can You Afford?

Determining how much rent you can afford is one of the most important financial calculations you'll make. See what factors to consider, here....

The numbers we provide here are estimates based on some assumptions:

Based on industry averages, we estimate a monthly compounding interest rate of 22.99% and that you are making a minimum payment that is 2.5% of your total debt.

JGW:

The length of your program is determined by your debt amount. Programs are between 24 and 60 months in length and average program length is around 42 months.

Savings amount is an estimate base on average customer savings on their monthly payment. Real results will vary and some customers will save more, less or not at all.
