Home Loan Eligibility Calculator
Estimate the maximum home loan amount you're likely eligible for, based on your income, existing EMIs, age, and the lender's FOIR criteria.
Existing EMIs Are Reducing Your Eligibility
Clearing or reducing your existing EMI of ₹5,000 per month could significantly increase the loan amount you're eligible for.

How Home Loan Eligibility Is Calculated
Lenders use the FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) method to determine the maximum EMI you can afford, then work backward to the eligible loan amount.
Eligibility Formula
Max EMI = (Income × FOIR%) − Existing EMIs
Loan Amount = Max EMI × [(1 + R)N − 1] ÷ [R × (1 + R)N]
Monthly Income
₹75,000.00
FOIR
50%
Existing EMIs
₹5,000.00
Max EMI
₹32,500.00
Tenure (N)
240 Months
Eligible Loan Amount
₹37,45,002.29
Where: FOIR is the share of income lenders allow toward all EMIs combined, R is the monthly interest rate, and N is the loan tenure in months, capped so the loan ends by retirement age.

Worked Example
Suppose your monthly income is ₹75,000.00 and the lender allows 50% of that toward all EMIs combined, with ₹5,000.00 already going toward existing EMIs.
That leaves you with a maximum affordable EMI of ₹32,500.00 per month, which, over a 20-year tenure, translates to an eligible loan amount of approximately ₹37,45,002.29.
A few things to keep in mind:
Every lender uses a different FOIR, typically between 40% and 65% depending on your income slab, so your actual eligibility can vary between banks.
A higher existing EMI reduces the room left for a new loan, so paying down other debts first can meaningfully raise eligibility.
