Most lenders work from four to four and a half times gross salary. A real offer depends on your deposit, credit file and outgoings, so treat this as the range to start from.
A 5% pension
£2,250
Paying £3,750 into a pension only reduces your take-home by £2,250, because £1,500 of it comes out of tax you would otherwise have paid.
