Will my salary bonuses be included in the bank's calculation?

If you have a regular history of bonus payments alongside your salary, a lender will take this into account when calculating your income

When assessing mortgage applications, banks generally take into account consistent sources of income. So, if you have a regular history of bonus payments alongside your salary, then a lender will take this into account when calculating your income. However, if bonuses tend to be sporadic, a bank will be less likely to factor this into their decision making.

When you apply for a mortgage through Foxes, we will ask you for two years (possibly three) of financial history, and we will consider whether your bonuses are uniform and advise you accordingly.
