Home Loan Eligibility Calculator
Estimates maximum borrowing capacity based on monthly income, existing debt obligations, loan tenure, and bank FOIR parameters.
How This Calculation Formula is Formulated
Banks evaluate maximum home loan eligibility using the Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio (FOIR). Most banks limit total monthly debt obligations (including all current loans plus the new home loan EMI) to 40%–50% of your net monthly salary. The available EMI capacity is then discounted at the prevailing interest rate across the tenure.

How to Boost Home Loan Eligibility
1. Add a Co-Applicant: Adding your earning spouse or parent as a co-borrower combines incomes, dramatically increasing your borrowing limit under bank FOIR guidelines.
2. Close Existing Personal Loans: Every ₹5,000 of existing personal loan EMI you close increases your home loan borrowing capacity by approximately ₹5.5 to ₹6.0 Lakhs on a 20-year tenure.
3. Choose a Longer Tenure: Extending your tenure from 15 to 25 years reduces the per-month EMI factor, increasing eligible loan amounts.
Frequently Asked Questions About Home Loan Eligibility Calculator
What is FOIR in home loan processing?
FOIR stands for Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio. It is the percentage of your net monthly salary that can be used to service debt (typically 40% for salaries under ₹50k, and 50%–60% for higher income earners).
How does a credit score (CIBIL) impact loan eligibility?
A CIBIL score of 750+ qualifies you for the lowest interest rates (e.g., 8.35% vs 9.25%). Lower rates directly increase the loan amount you qualify for with the same EMI.
Will bank finance 100% of property cost?
No. Under RBI regulations, banks can fund up to 80% to 90% of the agreement value (Loan-to-Value or LTV ratio). Borrowers must pay the remaining 10%–20% down payment from own funds.
Can rental income increase my home loan eligibility?
Yes. Documented rental income from existing properties (via registered rent agreements and bank credit statements) is added to your gross income by most lenders.
