What home or property can you buy with this loan?

A home loan usually covers only a certain part of the property price.

You need to pay the rest as a down payment.

Here is an estimate based on your loan amount.

Eligibility vs affordability: what is the difference?

Eligibility is the loan amount a bank may be willing to lend you, based on your income and existing EMIs.

Affordability is the EMI and home price that fit comfortably in your monthly budget, after your household expenses and savings.

A bank may approve more than you can comfortably repay.

Before choosing a loan amount, check what fits your budget with the Home Loan Affordability Calculator.

What affects home loan eligibility?

Lenders look at several things before deciding how much to lend.

The main ones are:

Your incomeHigher, stable income usually means a higher loan.
Lenders verify salary slips, bank statements or ITRs.
Existing EMIsCar, personal and other loan EMIs reduce the EMI you can take on for a home loan.
Your ageIt decides how many years you can repay over.
A shorter tenure means a smaller loan for the same EMI.
Credit historyA good repayment record and credit score help you get approved and get a better rate.
Job or business stabilityLenders prefer a steady job or a business with a few years of track record.
Interest rate and tenureA lower rate or a longer tenure lets the same EMI support a bigger loan.
The property and lender policyThe property's value, its legal checks and each lender's own rules also matter.

How to improve your home loan eligibility

These steps may help.

They do not guarantee approval.

Add an earning family member (optional)If the lender accepts their income, your combined income may support a higher loan.
Reduce existing EMIsPaying off an existing loan can free up monthly EMI capacity.
Consider a longer tenureA longer tenure can lower the EMI for the same loan.
But you may pay more interest over time. See how tenure changes your total interest in the Home Loan EMI Calculator.
Keep a good credit historyPay your EMIs and credit card bills on time.
Avoid taking many new loans at the same time.
Compare interest ratesA lower rate can reduce your EMI or help the same EMI support a higher loan.
Show eligible incomeSome lenders may consider regular income such as rental income or other documented income.
This depends on the lender.

How we estimate your eligibility

1Add your income. Your income + your family member's income (optional) = combined monthly income.
2Set your EMI capacity. We use 50% of your combined income as the default planning assumption.
3Remove existing EMIs. Your EMI capacity − existing EMIs = money available for the new home-loan EMI.
4Calculate the loan. We calculate the loan amount that this EMI can repay at your chosen interest rate and tenure.
5Check the loan end age. The calculator limits the tenure so the loan ends by age 60 if you are salaried, or 65 if you are self-employed or run a business. With a family member, the older person's age is used.

Important assumptions

The EMI calculation uses the standard reducing-balance method.

Frequently asked questions

How is home loan eligibility calculated?

Lenders look at your income, existing EMIs, age, credit history, loan tenure and other details.

This calculator uses your income, existing EMIs, interest rate and tenure to estimate the amount you may be able to repay.

The final lender calculation can be different.

How much home loan can I get on a ₹50,000 salary?

It depends on your existing EMIs, age, interest rate, tenure and lender rules.

Under our example assumptions of 50% EMI capacity, 7.5% interest, 20 years and no existing EMIs, the estimated eligibility is about ₹31.03 lakh.

Use the calculator for your own details.

How much home loan can I get on a ₹1 lakh salary?

Under the same example assumptions, ₹1 lakh monthly income gives an estimated eligibility of about ₹62.06 lakh.

Your actual lender result may be different.

Does an existing EMI reduce home loan eligibility?

Yes.

Your car loan, personal loan or other EMI reduces the amount of monthly income available for your new home-loan EMI.

Does adding a family member increase home loan eligibility?

It may.

Adding a family member is optional.

If the lender accepts their income, your combined income may support a higher loan amount.

The lender will also check the family member's age, income, credit profile and other details.

Does a longer tenure increase home loan eligibility?

It can.

A longer tenure usually lowers the EMI for the same loan amount.

This can allow the same EMI capacity to support a larger loan.

But you may pay more interest over the life of the loan.

You can also cut interest later by prepaying.

The Home Loan Prepayment Calculator shows how much you could save.

How does age affect home loan eligibility?

Age can affect the maximum loan tenure.

If the loan has to end earlier, the same EMI may support a smaller loan.

Different lenders use different age and retirement rules.

Why does the calculator use 50% of income for EMIs?

50% is used here as a planning assumption.

It is not a rule used by every lender.

A lender may use a different method based on your income, debts and profile.

Is this the same as a bank's loan approval?

No.

This is only an estimate.

A lender will check your credit history, income documents, property, existing debts and its own rules before making a final decision.

How much down payment will I need?

It depends on the property price and the amount the lender is willing to finance.

This calculator gives an estimate using RBI loan-to-value limits.

You may also need money for stamp duty, registration and other buying costs.

The Home Loan Down Payment Calculator can help you plan it.

Why does a bank show a different amount than this calculator?

Our calculator gives you a planning estimate.

A bank may use more information, such as:

  • Your credit score and credit history
  • Your income documents
  • Existing loans and other obligations
  • Your job or business history
  • Property value and documents
  • Its own lending rules

So your bank's number may be higher or lower than the number shown here.

That is normal.

The two calculations may simply use different information and rules.
