How to Use This Calculator — Step by Step

1

Enter your monthly take-home income

Use your net monthly salary after tax, PF, and other deductions. If you have a co-applicant (spouse or parent), include their income here too — lenders consider combined household income for joint applications.

2

Enter your monthly living expenses and existing EMIs separately

Living expenses (groceries, transport, utilities) are for your own reference — to see free cash. Existing EMIs matter most to lenders: car loans, personal loans, and education loans all reduce your home loan eligibility.

3

Enter your available down payment

The sum you can put down upfront. Remember to reserve 5–7% extra for stamp duty and registration. The calculator adds this directly to your max loan to show maximum property price.

4

Set the loan rate, tenure, and FOIR limit

Use the current home loan rate from your lender. Longer tenures increase the max loan by lowering the EMI. The FOIR slider lets you choose how conservative or aggressive you want to be — 40% is safe, 50% is typical, above 55% is risky.

5

Read the results and budget breakdown

The max property price and loan amount show your ceiling. Watch the comfort badge and the "Free Cash / Month" figure — if free cash falls below ₹15,000–20,000, you may feel financially squeezed after the purchase.

What is FOIR and Why Do Banks Use It?

FOIR — Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio — is the primary metric Indian banks use to decide your home loan eligibility. It caps the total of all your monthly EMI payments (including the new home loan) as a percentage of your gross monthly income.

  • Most banks allow 40–50% FOIR for salaried borrowers with stable employment.
  • Self-employed borrowers often face a stricter 40–45% cap due to income variability.
  • High credit score (750+) borrowers may negotiate a slightly higher FOIR with some lenders.
  • Formula: Max EMI = (Monthly Income × FOIR%) − Existing EMIs

How Much Home Loan Can I Get on ₹1 Lakh Salary?

With a ₹1L/month net income, no existing EMIs, 8.5% rate, 20-year tenure, and a 50% FOIR limit, the maximum EMI is ₹50,000 — translating to approximately ₹51.7 lakh in loan. Adding a ₹10L down payment gives a maximum property price of around ₹61.7 lakh.

The exact figure varies significantly with tenure (30-year tenure raises it to ~₹64L loan), interest rate (9.5% drops it to ~₹47L), and existing EMIs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this calculator give the exact amount a bank will approve?

No — banks also consider your credit score, employment type, employer profile, property valuation, age, and internal policies. This calculator uses the standard FOIR method to give you a realistic estimate, but the actual sanction may be higher or lower. Pre-qualifying with your bank before house-hunting gives you a firm number.

What is a safe FOIR to target?

40% or below is considered conservative and gives you comfortable breathing room for emergencies, investments, and lifestyle. 50% is the common bank limit. Going above 50% is possible but leaves little room for unexpected expenses — a job loss or medical emergency could quickly become a financial crisis.

Should I include my spouse's income?

Yes, if you are applying jointly. Joint home loans allow combined income to be used for eligibility, increasing your maximum loan amount. Both applicants' credit scores are checked, so make sure both are in good standing before applying.

What LTV ratio will the bank offer?

RBI guidelines cap Loan-to-Value at 90% for loans up to ₹30L, 80% for ₹30L–₹75L, and 75% for loans above ₹75L. This means for a ₹90L property, the bank will fund at most ₹67.5L (75%) — you must arrange the remaining ₹22.5L as down payment. If the LTV shown in results is above the applicable cap, you may need a larger down payment.
