Q: What is an affordability score?

An affordability score shows what you can safely afford each month based on your income, essential spending, and debts.

Lenders assess affordability to ensure you can repay loans. A strong score helps prevent overborrowing and supports better financial decisions.

Q: Is my affordability score the same as my credit score?

No — credit scores looks at your borrowing history, while affordability scores show your current ability to manage payments and expenses.

Q: Will checking my affordability score affect my credit rating?

No, checking your affordability score with the Boshhh Money App does not impact your credit score rating.

Understand what you can safely afford each month based on your real income and spending.
