Loan Eligibility Calculator India — Maximum Loan Amount You Can Get

Last updated: Reviewed by Arjun Mehta, CA
**Loan eligibility** is determined by your Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio (FOIR) — most banks cap total EMIs at 40–50% of net monthly income. For a ₹1 lakh salary with no existing EMIs, you may be eligible for a home loan of ₹50–60 lakh at 8.5% for 20 years. This calculator computes your maximum loan amount based on income and existing obligations.

Real-World Examples — 2026

₹80,000 net salary — home loan eligibility

Net income ₹80,000, existing EMI ₹10,000. Available EMI capacity at 50% FOIR = ₹40,000 − ₹10,000 = ₹30,000. At 8.5% for 20 years, max home loan = approximately ₹28.6 lakh.

Adding co-borrower to boost eligibility

Adding a co-borrower with ₹60,000 net income raises combined income to ₹1.4 lakh. At 50% FOIR, combined EMI capacity = ₹70,000. This doubles the eligible loan amount to approximately ₹60 lakh.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do banks calculate loan eligibility?

Banks use FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) — typically 40–50% of net income. If your net salary is ₹80,000, you can have total EMIs (existing + new) of ₹32,000–₹40,000. The remaining EMI capacity determines the maximum loan. Credit score, employer category, and age also affect final eligibility.

What FOIR do banks use for home loans?

Most banks allow FOIR up to 50% for home loans with good credit scores. SBI uses 50% FOIR, HDFC 50%, ICICI up to 55% for high-income applicants. For personal loans, FOIR is typically capped at 40–45%.

How can I increase my loan eligibility?

To increase eligibility: clear existing loans to reduce FOIR, add co-borrower (spouse), improve CIBIL score above 750, increase tenure (reduces EMI per lakh), choose a lender offering higher FOIR, and demonstrate stable income with ITR + salary slips.
