Quick answers
- Should I use gross or net income for affordability?
- Use net income for rent, savings, debt, and monthly budget planning because taxes, CPP, and EI reduce spendable pay.
- Can this replace a payroll quote?
- No. It is a planning estimate; payroll deductions, benefits, credits, and employer-specific items can change your cheque.
