Loan Eligibility Calculator: How Much Can You Borrow?

30 June 2026by Vaibhav2 min read

Before applying, find out roughly how large a loan your income can support. This calculator estimates your eligibility.

What is it?

Lenders cap your EMI at a share of your income (often 40-50%) after existing obligations. That ceiling decides your maximum loan.

How is it calculated?

Eligible loan is derived by reversing the EMI formula: from the affordable EMI, rate and tenure, the maximum principal is back-calculated.

Example

On a ₹1 lakh monthly income with a 50% EMI ceiling and no other EMIs, at 9% over 20 years you could qualify for roughly ₹55 lakh.

Key things to know

  • Clearing existing EMIs raises your eligibility.
  • A higher credit score can mean a larger sanction.
  • A co-applicant’s income can be added.
  • A longer tenure raises eligibility but also total interest.

What to do next

Compare lenders, as eligibility rules vary.
