Frequently asked questions
What percentage of income should go toward rent?
30% is a widely used guideline, though it originated in Western housing policy rather than Thai norms. If you have significant other debt payments or savings goals, a lower target such as 20-25% may be more comfortable.
Should I use gross or net income?
Net (take-home) income gives a more realistic affordability picture, since that’s what’s actually available to pay rent each month. Use the Net Salary Calculator first if you only know your gross salary.
