What AffordBase does
AffordBase provides free calculators and planning tools for people comparing salaries, take-home pay, rent, cars, cities, savings goals and home-buying scenarios in Canada and the United States.
How our calculators work
Our tools combine the information you enter with published assumptions and planning models. Where a calculator uses external data, we aim to identify the source or explain the assumptions so you can understand what is behind the result.
What our estimates are for
Use AffordBase to compare scenarios, build a budget and prepare better questions. Results are estimates, not approvals or professional advice. Important tax, legal, lending and financial decisions should be checked against current official information and, when appropriate, a qualified professional.
Corrections and updates
Financial rules, tax rates and cost-of-living data can change. If you notice an outdated assumption, calculation issue or unclear explanation, please contact us so it can be reviewed.
