Mortgage debt as a % of income

Morning,
Just to motivate me to continue on my journey, I was wondering what your % mortgage debt to income is?
When I took the mortgage out I was earning £21,000 and borrowed £130,300 = 620.5% :eek:
At the moment I earn £26,160 and owe £121,800 = 465.6%
Still high but it's coming down

Currently £152,245 in hock to the banks (I'll update my sig to reflect the payments today), which is 540% of income.
Of course, I'm buying another place at the moment, so that pushes it to 790%... I'll find a second job, perhaps? :rotfl:Debts (26.3% remaining) - CC/BARC: [strike]2058[/strike] 100.00 @0%; CC/MBNA: [strike]1877.75[/strike] 0.00; Loan/SLC: [strike]10000[/strike] 7901.84 @1.5%; Loan/Per: [strike]1500[/strike] 0.00; Loan/HX: [strike]15000[/strike] 0.00

Interested in what % of their income they spend a month on mortgage.
These figures sound scary but as above as long as you can afford the repayments no real worry!0 -
Mine is 152,000 with a percentage to income of 543%
Investments - £1,290.62 (Shares on a DRIP Strategy)
Mortgage Balance - £189,662.09
Credit Card Debt - CLEARED

331%.
Northern Rock at one time offered 7 x income to me!!!Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -
Interesting way of looking at it. My mortgage is 163% of my annual income so not as bad as some (until I move!) and my monthly payments are about 17% of my take home pay so fairly comfortable.0

You sound lucky! :-)
300% of gross per year and 31% of take home per month - house hold.
500% of gross per year and 54% of take home per month - mine
P.S. hope people realise that if they give their mortgage value and percentage we can work out your income! Some people might be cool with sharing that anyway!0 -
Didn't realise how lucky I was until I actually wrote it down, helps that I only have a one bed flat that was cheap to start with combined with a very good pay packet.0
