Can bonus and RSU income count toward my mortgage?

Short answerYes, if you can document a two-year history of receiving it and your employer verifies it is likely to continue. Lenders typically average the last two years of variable income, and declining bonuses can reduce what counts. RSUs usually need a vesting history plus evidence of ongoing grants, and guidelines vary by lender.

The details

Bring two years of W-2s, recent pay stubs showing year-to-date variable pay, and any employer letter describing the compensation plan.

If your bonus income is declining year over year, underwriters may use the lower recent figure or exclude it.
