As a broker, we have a choice in the Santander affordability calculator.

We can choose to input nothing and accept the ONS figures for the type of household; or enter everything and get a tailored solution.

FWIW choosing the latter rarely results in a maximum loan lower than the former.

On the odd occasion I've had a bit of fun with the data entry seeing how much I can enter in each box before the output is even affected.

Typically, pre-budget planner, I'll enter;-

Food drink & clothing £250
Household goods £50
Council tax & utilities £325
Travel £150
Entertainment £100
Holidays £100.
