Loan eligibility is the maximum loan amount a bank will approve based on your income, existing obligations, credit score, and loan type. The primary rule is FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) — most banks allow maximum 50% of your net income towards all EMIs combined.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to calculate maximum loan amount from EMI?
Formula: Loan = EMI × [1 − (1+r)^−n] ÷ r, where r = monthly interest rate (annual ÷ 12), n = tenure in months. Example: EMI ₹20,000, Rate 8.75%, Tenure 20yr (240 months): Monthly rate r = 8.75/12/100 = 0.007292. Loan = 20,000 × [1 − (1.007292)^−240] ÷ 0.007292 = ₹20.9L approximately. This calculator does it instantly — enter EMI, rate, and tenure.
What EMI can I afford on ₹1 lakh salary?
Safe EMI limit = 40–50% of monthly income. Conservative (40%): ₹40,000/month. Aggressive (50%): ₹50,000/month. At ₹40,000 EMI, 8.75% rate: 20yr → ₹41.8L | 25yr → ₹44.2L | 30yr → ₹46.2L. Subtract existing EMIs. If existing EMI ₹15,000 → available for new loan = ₹40,000 − ₹15,000 = ₹25,000 → loan eligibility ₹26.1L (20yr). Financial planners recommend keeping total EMIs below 40% of income for healthy finances.
Does increasing tenure always increase loan eligibility?
Yes, but with diminishing returns: 10yr → 20yr: eligibility increases ≈35%. 20yr → 30yr: increases only ≈24%. 30yr is maximum for most banks. The trade-off: ₹30L loan at 8.75% — 20yr total payment ₹64.2L vs 30yr total payment ₹85.1L. That extra ₹20.9L in interest is the cost of the ₹8L extra eligibility from longer tenure. Prepay early if you take longer tenure — every ₹1L prepayment saves ₹2–3L interest.
How does interest rate affect maximum loan amount?
Rate directly affects how much loan you can take for same EMI. At EMI ₹20,000 for 20 years: Rate 8% → ₹23.9L | Rate 8.75% → ₹20.9L | Rate 9.5% → ₹22.6L | Rate 10% → ₹20.4L. Every 0.25% rate reduction → ≈2% more loan eligibility. This is why improving CIBIL from 700 to 750 (saving 0.5% rate) meaningfully increases both eligibility and saves lakhs over tenure.
Is 40% or 50% of salary the right EMI limit?
40% rule: EMI = 40% of net take-home. Safer — leaves room for savings, emergency fund, lifestyle. Recommended for families with single income. 50% rule: EMI = 50% of gross income. Aggressive — banks use this as maximum but financial planners caution against it. Best practice: Use 40% as EMI cap, ensure you still invest minimum 20% of income in SIP/PPF simultaneously. High EMI + no savings = financially vulnerable to job loss or medical emergency.
