What is percentage of my salary should mortgage repayments be?

In the 1970 & 1980’s some lenders had very strict rules with regard to home loan repayments as a percentage of salary.

This criteria has largely dropped away now and for good reasons.  Salary structures are much more complex now with employees availing of such things a salary sacrifice and novated leases blurring the calculations. The most important criteria for assessing a loan is can the borrower comfortably and realistically afford the loan repayments now and into the future.
