Does my partner's income count for the mortgage?

Yes, if you apply together your partner’s income is added to yours, which usually increases your maximum mortgage. Both partners then become jointly liable (hoofdelijk aansprakelijk) for the loan, so any debts or obligations on either side also affect what you can borrow. A second income, including a partner with the 30% ruling, can significantly raise your capacity.
