    I'm coming off interest only mortgage in September, a quick calculation based on current rates from my lender, 57% of my NET salary will be paying my mortgage per month from September onwards.

    Just wondering percentage wise, no actual figures, how much people are paying? Thanks.

    Roughly 21-22% (using gross salaries).

    I would imagine that using your net salary would be a far more indicitive of the affordability of your mortgage payment.

    Absolutely. My calculation is based on net salary. I've updated my original post just to clarify anyway.
