Determine a consumer's discretionary income and ability to honour their obligations in terms of a new credit agreement

The Affordability Assessment Service uses the consumer’s income (gross and/or net); calculates their necessary expenses (at a minimum, the minimum living expenses as required in terms of Regulations); it evaluates the consumer’s total monthly debt repayment obligations and returns the consumer’s available income (discretionary income) which will indicate the consumer’s ability to fund the proposed credit instalment in terms of a new credit agreement.

How it works

We start with the available amount of the consumer’s gross and/or net income. Next, we deduct their necessary expenses (the minimum living expenses as per Regulation 23A (9) and (10) of the National Credit Act 34 of 2005). Finally, we deduct the consumer’s total monthly debt repayment obligations.
