Check if a rental price fits your budget and see the share of income it uses in Maryland.
Compares a Maryland rental price against the classic 30% (or custom) rent-to-income rule, plus the maximum rent that rule allows at your income. Many landlords screen on gross income instead of take-home.

Rates are approximate reference values. Local rates, exemptions and rules can differ, so treat the output as a planning figure only.
