About This Tool
Rent estimates are based on 2026 Victoria rental market data from CMHC, Zumper and local rental listings. Figures represent typical market rate rents — subsidized, below-market and luxury units may fall outside these ranges.
The 30% affordability rule is a widely used guideline — spending more than 30% of your take-home pay on rent typically leaves insufficient room for other essential expenses. The 40% threshold represents the absolute maximum most financial advisors recommend.
