Worked examples
Baseline — Nigeria
Start near NGN 3,600,000 (credit principal NGN 25,000,000, rent-like NGN 150,000 if housing). Note the primary KPI for Rent affordability, then open related calculators in the same journey.
Sensitivity +10%
Raise the main driver to about NGN 3,960,000 and compare the delta vs baseline — critical for loans, tax brackets and goals.
Household limit
Push housing or debt share until it exceeds a personal comfort threshold (e.g. 30–40% of net income).
Verify before acting
Re-run with your real Nigeria numbers, then confirm with payslip, bank quote or tax authority tools. Educational only.
