The Formula Banks Use

Banks calculate your maximum loan eligibility using FOIR — Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio. FOIR is the percentage of your gross monthly income that goes toward EMIs (existing + proposed new loan).

Maximum FOIR limits by lender type:

  • Private banks (HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak): 45–50% of gross income
  • PSU banks (SBI, Canara, BoB): 50–55% of gross income
  • HFCs (LIC Housing, HDFC Ltd): up to 55–60% in some cases
  • Eligibility Formula:

    Maximum EMI you can afford = Gross Monthly Income × FOIR limit − Existing monthly EMIs

    Maximum Loan = Derived from this EMI using the home loan EMI formula at the prevailing rate and chosen tenure.

    Salary-to-Home-Loan Table (April 2026)

    Assumptions: CIBIL 750+, no existing EMIs, 20-year tenure, rate 8.5%, FOIR 50%.

    | Monthly Salary | Max Monthly EMI | Max Home Loan |

    |---|---|---|

    | ₹30,000 | ₹15,000 | ~₹15.3 Lakh |

    | ₹50,000 | ₹25,000 | ~₹25.6 Lakh |

    | ₹75,000 | ₹37,500 | ~₹38.4 Lakh |

    | ₹1,00,000 | ₹50,000 | ~₹51.2 Lakh |

    | ₹1,50,000 | ₹75,000 | ~₹76.8 Lakh |

    | ₹2,00,000 | ₹1,00,000 | ~₹1.02 Crore |

    | ₹3,00,000 | ₹1,50,000 | ~₹1.54 Crore |

    *Note: These are indicative maximum amounts. Actual amounts depend on the lender, property value (LTV limits), CIBIL score, and existing obligations.*

    How Existing EMIs Reduce Your Eligibility

    If you have an existing car loan EMI of ₹15,000/month and earn ₹1,00,000/month:

  • Max EMI budget at 50% FOIR: ₹50,000
  • Minus existing car EMI: ₹15,000
  • **Net EMI available for home loan: ₹35,000**
  • Max home loan at ₹35,000 EMI: ~₹35.8 lakhs (vs ₹51.2 lakhs without the car loan)
  • This is why paying off smaller existing EMIs before applying for a large home loan significantly increases your eligibility.

    How to Increase Your Home Loan Eligibility

    Add a co-applicant (most impactful): Adding a working spouse or parent as co-applicant combines both incomes for FOIR calculation. A couple earning ₹60,000 + ₹40,000 = ₹1,00,000 combined income unlocks ~₹51 lakh eligibility.

    Choose a longer tenure: A 25-year tenure vs 20-year reduces the monthly EMI for the same loan amount, fitting more within FOIR. At 8.5%, a ₹50L loan: 20 years = ₹43,391 EMI; 25 years = ₹40,260 EMI. The lower EMI means more loans fit within FOIR.

    Show all income sources: Variable pay (confirmed via Form 16 / IT assessment), rental income (rental agreement + bank credits), and freelance income (ITR + bank statement) can all be added if declared in returns.

    Clear small EMIs first: Closing a ₹5,000/month vehicle loan frees up ₹5,000 in EMI capacity — that translates to ~₹4.8 lakh additional home loan eligibility.
