The 28/36 rule in the UK is a guideline for mortgage affordability, suggesting your monthly housing costs (mortgage, insurance, council tax) shouldn't exceed 28% of your gross (pre-tax) income, and your total monthly debt (including housing, loans, credit cards) should be no more than 36% of that income. Lenders use this rule, along with your credit score, deposit, and other expenses, to assess risk, though they might adjust figures based on individual financial circumstances.
