Loan Eligibility Calculator
Calculate maximum loan borrowing capacity based on monthly salary and FOIR
Estimated borrowing capacity at 8.5% for 20 years
How Does It Work?
Determine your home loan and personal loan eligibility based on monthly take-home salary, existing obligations, interest rate, and standard bank FOIR debt limits.
Banks typically permit 50% to 60% FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) for repayment.
Real-World Worked Example
An applicant earns ₹1,00,000 net monthly take-home salary and has an existing ₹10,000 car EMI. Bank applies 50% FOIR at 8.5% interest over 20 years.
- •Total Permissible EMI (50% FOIR): ₹50,000
- •Available Monthly EMI: ₹50,000 - ₹10,000 = ₹40,000
- •Maximum Home Loan Eligibility: Approx ₹46,09,000
Takeaway: Closing the ₹10,000 car EMI frees up that room in the FOIR formula, boosting home loan eligibility by over ₹11.5 Lakhs.

Making early principal prepayments on a long-term home loan cuts compound interest. On a ₹40,00,000 loan at 8.75% for 20 years, a single lump-sum prepayment of ₹3,00,000 at the end of Year 3 saves ₹866484 in interest and closes your mortgage 33 months early.
How EMI Is Calculated: Formula and Worked Example
An Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is calculated using a reducing-balance formula: EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]. On a ₹10,00,000 loan at 9% for 5 years, your monthly EMI is exactly ₹20,758, with early payments heavily weighted toward interest charges.
