    We just thought why not just put it in my husbands name as he is the earner etc, and will be paying the mortgage and providing the deposit anyway plus the calculator said we could borrow more that way

    The calculator is only a guide and cannot understand every nuance of your application, however you can bet that once you put in a full application, and your husband tells them that he is supporting dependents - then the amount you will be able to borrow will come down again. They have to take the fact that he supports his family into consideration.
